Does this work with kde/wayland?

It looks like the "vnc-version" Dockerfiles will set up an Xvnc server and direct QEMU's output to it, and you can connect to that using a VNC client. The standard version sets up X11 forwarding over SSH and/or you can pass the host's X11 socket and corresponding DISPLAY variable directly to the container.

QEMU also has its own built-in remote access capabilities (SPICE and VNC-based) but the former needs guest support.

I wonder if progress will halt once newer versions of MacOS without Intel support are released? Can I run docker inside this container to get MacOS to run inside MacOS? ;)

Theoretically you can always run qemu in full emulation mode.

I mean you can just do that in any supported vm program.

Can this run xcode?

I tried this last year. It works though it's pretty slow.

I really hate having to also support the Apple ecosystem. Development, CI/CD integration is really poor without having to buy the hardware.
