It would be really nice if there was a stable, maintained, and officially supported virtual machine implementation for OS X. I have an insane desktop running Linux that can do anything and everything I need. However, if my needs suddenly expanded to include occasional Photoshop use (for example) I'd have to pull out my Macbook Pro. Yes, in my case I also have a Windows 10 VM for occasional use (probably Photoshop, don't know) but I'd much prefer OS X.

I understand why a Mac OS X virtual machine might not be completely compatible with Apple's overall business model but perhaps something available through the Apple developer program? Something, anything, would be nice.

I believe that there's a DLL patcher for Windows VMware that allows OS X guests. Back when I tried it last time, it worked nicely but then again I only used it for creating USB install media for repairing / reinstalling broken Macs and didn't require stuff like high-performance USB or GPU acceleration.

This [0] tracks issues for a vagrant macOS setup. Not official, but its technically allowed if you already own a mac that runs the version you want.

I can confirm this works reasonably well and includes xcode and some other stuff IIRC.
