Neat, but this looks very specialized for a single person's config. I wouldn't want to run this on my machine seeing as it removes apt sources and does a bunch of other system changes unrelated to installing a macOS guest.

Despite these being optional tweaks in the menu, I'm also surprised by how this is the default. I guess the options are for PVE updates.

"Disclaimer for dev/student/test purposes only." Shouldn't be used with enterprise license, which may be against ToS.

The original intent is to avoid custom hardware configurations by using PVE as a layer. Hackintosh on bare metal can take days to figure out on new hardware.

This is all standard proxmox setup and is step 1 for anyone running the free version

How is this easier than OSX-KVM? I can't imagine how proxmox is easier (or better for most use-cases I can think of) than qemu.

EDIT: Script just immediately tries to apt-get stuff. Nah. Oh lord and then helps itself to editting your apt sources. (All just to get git? How odd.) Before downloading another un-tagged/un-versioned link and excuting it. Nah nah nah.

curling some random install script from some domain I've never heard of and is possibly unrelated to this GitHub repo? great! what could possibly go wrong?

Always review scripts before running, regardless of origin, Github isn't always safe.

The domain redirects to github due to the changing commit hash raw URL.

You also have to cross-check the 4 kexts checksum with the origin in the OpenCore ISO, including binaries in other projects like OSX-KVM. Thankfully there are no binaries that require reproducible build setup.

Proxmox uses qemu for vm’s.
