Then a Hackintosh is definitely worth considering as long as you are willing to spend the time getting it up and running and maintaining it. Building a hackintosh will undoubtedly save you money vs buying a comparably powered Mac. It will run completely stable as a PC, and probably mostly stable eventually as a Mac.

Double-click your macOS virtual machine to start it. You will see a long stream of text, followed by the Apple logo. On the next screen, select your language of choice, then Continue. Now, the installation says it'll take a few minutes. However, in my experience, this wasn't correct. The initial installation phase took around 15 minutes, but then you land on a second installation screen after the macOS Big Sur virtual machine restarts.
The initial installation time on that screen begins at around 29 minutes. However, once it reaches Less than a minute remaining and you get your hopes up—don't.
It took another hour for the installation to complete from this point, but I've also read reports of people waiting for upwards of three hours. Worse, there is no way to tell if the installation is ongoing on you're just wasting your time. If you can afford the time, leave it for several hours, and hopefully, when you come back, you'll be staring at the macOS Big Sur Welcome page. Once you complete the macOS setup, take a snapshot within VirtualBox. If anything breaks or the Big Sur virtual machine corrupts, you can head back to the snapshot to restore your previously good installation.
Prefer VMware over VirtualBox? This part of the tutorial works for Intel and AMD systems. Read through the tutorial to see what this means exactly. Do pay attention. The script whizzes by, and you need to keep watch for any " File not Found " messages. The most common reason for a "file not found" or a "system cannot find the file specified" message is installing VMware Workstation Player in a different location to the default folder and executing the patch from a different directory.
There are still some edits to make to configuration files. This section is for Intel users, and it involves the final set of edits you need to make before switching your VMware macOS Big Sur virtual machine on!
Close VMware. Head to the location you stored the macOS virtual machine. The default location is:. Browse to macOS Big Sur. Scroll to the bottom of the configuration file and add the following line:.
This section is for AMD users. The AMD edit involves a few more lines than the Intel version, but you can copy and paste the data into the file. Scroll to the bottom of the configuration file and add the following lines:. After launching the macOS Big Sur virtual machine, you'll have to configure the storage drive before installation. But not everything lends itself to that.
So as developers, we still spend a decent portion of our daily life outside of containers. We need robust documentation and scripts to make that happen smoothly. How do we agree on anything? As I write this, I also have not successsfully installed a High Sierra guest anywhere. So your mileage may vary. Step 2: Download an OS installer. It will probably find the installer app you downloaded.
Click continue. Click continue when it asks you if it can create a bootable disk image file. Pause for quiet introspection while it writes out several gigs to your disk. Ignore the spinner still trying to locate installation media. Maybe go make some tea. Set up the initial user account just like you would on a native install. Installing hooks into the guest OS to allow for better integration with the host OS, like shared clipboards and shared folders.
Run it.
