Will you be running a lot of containers for dev environment or background services?

I don't think so. I'll probably write some MacOS system software, like probing their battery APIs and such, but they are going to be small.

I'm not exactly sure how I'd proceed to learn the MacOS/iOS internals, I'll have to look into it, but I don't think I need to run a VM, unless I hack the XNU kernel? QEMU does run on MacOS so I guess that's additional 4GB - 6GB of memory for the kernel?
