Has there been a significant development? Been using it with https://mac.getutm.app/ for a while
We'll find out tomorrow I guess

At first I thought this was being done to pump us up for new Mac Pro hardware that might be on the horizon, but then I wasn't sure, but now I'm also still not sure it isn't .. ;) But, regardless, the subject of using a Mac to host a plethora of different platforms (in my case, for build-server duties) is indeed a fascinating subject. If I can get my target/builds set up on the next Mac Pro, whatever that is going to…
I think this is being done because the Mach microkernel was designed to run multiple OS's at the same time. I think Apple finally has enough developers to start pushing into new areas such as a framework to advantage Mach.

+1 for UTM. I use it to run an arm Linux distro that uses Rosetta for x86 binary only programs. Works like a charm and blazingly fast!

Virtualization is, of course, based on a very standard KVM-like API. There's not much Mach in its design at all.

#16I'm posting this because I've just found it. I'm trying to boot a custom toy kernel that I'm developing (with virtio support). Wish me good luck! OSDEV rocks!
Just a question: would anyone be interested in a good blog post explaining my journey with OSDEV and Virtualization.framework ?
Yes!

Perhaps I am reading what you wrote wrong but are you saying it can use Rosetta within an ARM Linux VM to run x86 applications in the VM?

UTM is great in theory but I can't seem to be able to get directory sharing to "just work" and it's very frustrating.
