You can do it in a VM just fine too.

There is usually someone who’ll point out that this probably violates licensing, and it probably does if you do it on non-Apple hardware.

I have an older Mac model I use as a linux box: you just reminded me I install a Mac OS VM without violating the license - thanks!

I was actually running ESXi on my Mini for a while and successfully installed macOS in a VM on it. The performance was horrendous though, so much of macOS depends on GPU acceleration which I didn't get. I think I've read newer macOS builds don't even have a software video fallback, though that might just be the Apple Silicon builds which wouldn't apply to me.

It was definitely a fun project even if not terribly useful.
