QuickEmu: github.com/quickemu-project
QuickGUI: github.com/quickemu-project/q...
Quickemu thing is a simple program that uses Qemu to automatically create vms for a bunch of operating systems, whether that's macOS, Linux or Windows.
So, if you went for the GUI, it's all extremely simple: you launch QuickGUI after installing it. The app might take a while to display anything inside the window, but once it does, you can click on "Create new machines".
You then get to pick the directory where you want to set things up, and the operating system you want to install. Once the download is done, click "dismiss", and then the little "X" in the top left to close the downloader part of the app. You can then click "manage existing machines", and click the little "play" button next to your macOS VM, and you're good to go, you should land in the setup for macOS.
If you don't want to use a GUI, you can run quickemu using the command line.
quickget macos monterey
quickemu --vm macos-monterey.conf
Inside macOS, open disk utility, and select the hard drive that was created for you, it should be about 100 gigs. Click the erase button in the top right corner, and rename the disk.
Confirm, and then close Disk utility. Click "reinstall mac os monterey", and proceed to select your recently erased hard drive, and to accept the licensing terms.
The install will then run, it takes a long while. On my own computer, it took about 1h to complete, so be patient. Once the install is done, you should be able to reboot into a macOS session.
To change the configuration of the VM, you have a text file, that is stored in the directory you picked at install, in my case, it's in my home folder. It should be called macos-monterey.conf.
By default, you'll only use 2 CPU cores, I changed that to 4, as my system can handle that without any problem. Just change the number after the cpu_cores parameter.
If you want to give the VM more RAM, add the following line:
ram="16G"
You'll also want to enable TRIM: open the terminal app from macOS
sudo trimforce enable
If you want to pass a CD ROM as an ISO to the VM, add this to the config file of the VM:
fixed_iso="/path/to/image.iso"
Now, of course, it's a VM, so there are limitations. First, 3D acceleration won't be good here.
If you can't login to any icloud services or the mac App Store, you'll also have to run a little command.
To solve that, you can open the macOS system preferences, then go to network, and delete all the network devices.
Then you'll need to open the macOS terminal app, and type the following command line:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist - Наука та технологія

One small tip. Up your RAM and cores before begin to install. It's a little more faster. Thanks a lot for the video.
The great advantage to this approach is that quickemu is a wrapper for QEMU. Which means you'll be using a type 1 hypervisor... Way better than VirtualBox in terms of performance
Absolutely!
both are slow, specially qemu , vmware is way better
@@hiru92 I used QEMU on a potato PC running Linux; I ran another VM that was another spin of the distro I was using, and an older version of Windows, I didn't notice it being ridiculously slow.
@@hiru92QEMU is absolutely fast, you just have to configure it properly. On the other hand, VMware is so much limited than QEMU, you can't do anything on it. The level of customization is honestly comparable to VirtualBox. And the worst part is that, unlike those two other hypervisors, it's proprietary and paid program (you have a free version but come on).
@@hiru92 qemu is faster than vmware catch yourself on m8
There's also OSX-KVM project which set's up a qemu-kvm with MacOS. Also works with the latest MacOS. And there's some info on the case when Apple sued some company and failed.
I just found that project too. The nice thing is you can use virsh to install the VM, so all the libvirt tools should work with it. I love quickemu too, but not having libvirt is awkward.
I used it in fedora 39 and it work in terminal, but not in virtmanager, it gives me a rare error, did it happened to you or its just my luck XDdddd
OSX-KVM is goat, I am running OS X here, however only chromium works, firefox or safari won't work because of no acceleration, kinda based, I can test homebrew, for real. And the best thing is that you can just virt-manager. EASY I love it.
I tried osx-kvm and never worked for me, but I like the initiative, more projects= more possibility
Didn't work for me sadly.
As a previous comment said, OSX-KVM works with Sonoma. The only change between Ventura and Sonoma is the CPU name in the qemu config file. So you may run the virtual machine on any qemu tool (qemu, quickemu, probably virtmanager after creating the xml config file). You just need to install Sonoma using the image downloaded by OSX-KVM and the correct cpu in the config file. And voilà !
i need some help with with this, it worked once but now it doesnt appear the macos anymore. It asks me to connect to spice: localhost and TLS port. Anyone that can help? Thanks
Theres no macos sonoma as an option to download. How did you do it?
Thanks i'll now be able to run mac inside my fedora virtualbox 💀.
Only if you have "nested virtual machines" ticked.
virtualbox is to slow. lol
@@---we8bx you missed the joke man
This is literally what i was searching for yesterday, and it cannot believe that this video came up recommended today. I am glad that i am subscribed to your channel
Informative video I've been waiting. Thanks! 😊
13:01 The title says "Limitations"
Ah crap
that's one of the reasons why I love this channel, I really *love* tricks like that
linux is the future of desktops
2024 is the year of the linux desktop! For sure this time!
no 2025 will be since windows 10 looses support.@@no_name4796
@@no_name4796 every year is the year of the linux desktop
As soon as "they" decide on one. But I think you're right. What amazes me is why MS just doesnt port a Windows UI to Linux. Yeah, I can see issues but a familiar UI would go a long way.
This is so great. I Wish I so this video few month ago, but still is good to know. Thank you for your job )
Very comprehensive. There are a couple of graphic programs that I'm interested in that are not available on Linux but are on MAC so I might give this a try. Thank you.
I might keep this tool in mind for when I have more space again on my SSDs or I have eventually to replace Windows 10 with 11 or 12 at which point I'll hopefully be able to pass through my GPU as needed.
Thanks Nick.
I wouldn't recommend it really, it would be so slow to do basic tasks even if you setup GPU passthrough it will be a slugish experience at best
Good video. I did this last year and it was quite fun. Took about a week to get a good working setup with GPU passthrough and not using spice (switch monitor to second input as that is where the video output from the second GPU is hooked into). Then it really worked smoothly and was really pleasant OS to use. I think it was Catalina.
How did you get the GPU passthrough to work ? Did hooking up a second monitor automatically take the GPU input as default ?
how did you do the passthrough ?
how?
Great video, Nick.
A little unrelated, but I just wondered: What are you using to sync your Nextcloud to your local PC? I used the official Nextcloud client, but regardless of the packaging format, it tends to be buggy. I'd rather not risk any data with syncing issues...
Thanks for introducing us to such a good virtual box alternative
Regarding the GPU acceleration, maybe you can consider making separate video on how to setup it. Because of recent decision to add kernel level anti-cheat in League of Legends, it will be impossible to play it in Linux, and playing it in MacOS VM (since anti-cheat is not required on it) with GPU acceleration might be the best option for people who don't want to install Windows.
Bro pls get a life
I've been messing with QEMU lately on my EndeavourOS system since my Windows install go to where it boots really slowly. Can't wait to build a new system where I can virtualize my Windows-based gaming PC.
Thank you for the discovery of this tool.
would love to try to get this running in like a basic headless linux environment and essentially have a macbook on a thinkpad
i use qemu daily and hadn't even considered it until you mentioned the cli setup there
I wish I had this video a year ago when I had my IOS dev class in college, I had to showup at the computer lab like a loser.
I do have a MacOS VM that I got running under virtualbox that I have not booted up in awhile. Thanks for an interesting video.
It could be funny to do this on a Mac running Asahi Linux
5:38 I see you rolled your way
into the semis.
Looking at all the options in the quickgui, I'm excited to use this app to test multiple OS configurations for my web apps without having too much hassle to set things up. So much better than VirtualBox, and way easier than attempting a Hackintosh! Such a great guide, thanks for sharing!
as a mac user i learnt something new today. sudo trimforce enable. thank you 🙂
Very nice! I wish I had seen this video before, I initially installed qemu-kvm and Catalina in January 2020 on Linux Mint and struggled a lot because I couldn't get my graphics card to passthrough and then last year I changed to Debian 12 and magically everything worked perfectly. Now I can work with Linux and Mac, Linux and Windows or Windows and Mac on a different monitor at the same time with the same keyboard and mouse. I even upgrate to Monterey with no issues.
How did you passthrough your GPU?
@@bennypr0fane I didn't need to, because I upgraded my GPU to an AMD PRO W7600 and it has 4 DP connections and I just connect another monitor and fixed each VM to a different monitor. I run benchmarks, it's probably like 10% difference in performance, for me is good enough
I use this method for setup Qemu with Virt Manager ua-cam.com/video/Kq849CpGd88/v-deo.htmlsi=zR6ZHgNwMOrr-MmX
And this to setup Macos ua-cam.com/video/dMLNP6FfhkI/v-deo.htmlsi=arYntUWAfRDgWG37
If you change the CPU core count, Threads, and ram allocation before installing the OS it will greatly improve install times. Took me about 20 minutes to perform the install, if you close out your VM and no longer have the install option delete the disk.qcow file to reset the VM and restart the install process.
Just wondering, why macOS Montery instead of a newer version? Is there some kind of benefit to using Montery?
Edit: It looks like Ventura is used in the video, why not use that?
ANOTHER edit: Tried it myself with Ventura, it failed to boot with a cryptic error message I couldn't understand. Tried Montery, it was able to boot. If it stops for you with an error message that's something like "[EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START]", try using Montery instead of Ventura.
13:03 : You have "Limitations" animation where it should be "What you can do"
Great video! Thanks for the info; that's exactly what I need! I need to test a Mac-only software that doesn't require fancy system resources. I'll give it a shot.
Fantastic video. Will defs try installing. Quick question - do you know if garageband will work in the VM?
Might not. Needs hw accel
I edited the .conf file before starting the VM, added 8 cores (have 20 cores on my CPU) and 16GB RAM. Installation took about 30mins. It's not as fast as a real Mac obviously, but I need it for occasional use supporting my father who has a Mac and is totally useless at using it (thanks PC World for telling him it's the best he could get when all he needed was a basic PC running Windows). So at least now I can talk him through his issues (and there are a lot!). Told him to return it, but he's stubborn and wants to learn it.
I should try this in my 2012 Mac mini.
Loved how you conveniently hid the Apple logo at boot. Clever 😅
Virtualbox is definitely working, I got MacOS catalina(?) on Vbox a while back (at the time of the pandemic) but it was slow as hell.
There are things to do like setting BIOS strings and enabling EFI, etc. but it's possible.
Where does this MacOS image come from? Some guy just uploaded it to QEMU servers?
I think this is an important question, for security reasons.
I believe the image is downloaded from Apple servers, and then converted to the appropriate ISO format.
The command line quickget (that is part of this quickemu package) has a option where you can actually get it to output the download source.
It is downloaded from the apple server, it shows in the cli
Chasing that MACOS life is what lead me back to getting into Linux in the first place. I did have a nice hacktinsoh for like two years until Just got a really cheap M1 Mac MIni. I love this macmini, but I still run Fedora on my Laptop and other desktop. If I didn't have an iphone (along with ALL of my friends and family) I'd get a lot less value out of macos myself.
I find most of my use is Fedora daily and I'll remote into my mac when I need it.
Nice! This is just what I need, I have an Apple Time Machine NAS filled with data I can’t access natively from Linux. This should allow me to migrate it to Linux friendly storage.
What's the difference between spice and VNC? Did mas switch Remote Desktop clients from VNC? I know on my older Mac I can remote into it from VNCfrom my desktop.
The window size weirdness looks like a dpi scaling bug. If your DE has dpi scaling, try setting it to 100%.
Is there a Linux mint install guide for dummies to get quickgui working?
May I ask if the macOS that runs on Linux has video acceleration, or even doing some simple video editing?
great! very useful, only thing is that cpu_cores didn't work for me, I typed cpu="8"
What about virt-manager. Can the VM download from Quickgui be launched and managed from virt-manager? I would ideally like to keep in virt-manager because quickemu or at least quickgui isn't supported on hyprland
Does it work well for mobile development? React Native, deploy the Reactnative ionic app?
Hey man. How do I get quickgui running? You seem to also have Fedora on the system you used in the tutorial, but I just can't seem to get quickgui up and running.
Does the sound work using this method?
Can this be used with the vision pro?
I feel like I am stuck with virtualbox. Trying to figure out bridged networks or network adapters seemed more than it was worth. I use virtual box for a work vm and needed to PXE to get the image
I've been itching to install Fedora on my M1 MacBook for a while since virtually all features are now supported. Alas Xcode requirements for iOS development have prevented me from doing so but this looks like it fixes that problem! I'd also assume since I'd technically be installing macOS on Apple hardware (albeit interfacing through Linux) then I'm not breaking any terms. Another great video from the Great Living Frenchman 🙂
Warning about iOS development: it does work, but not with a real iPhone. Apple being Apple, there's some protections against USB passthrough to the VM - I used this exact same approach for my last job on react-native, and I couldn't connect the iPhone at all (as soon as I clicked on the iPhone menu to pass-through, it simply disconnected the USB and re-connected the phone to my Linux)
Thanks Nick.
Can I edit the config file before starting the macOS install? I've tried doing so but then the installation doesn't seem to work.
The thing is, one day Apple will stop releasing x86 versions of macOS all together and there likely won't be any real way to run future versions of their OS. The amount of proprietary features macOS requires as part of Apple Silicon, the insane security around their platform, and the fact trying emulating very high end ARM64 chips on x86, makes macOS on non-Apple hardware futile to say the very least.
Hey there, do you have an updated video for your linux theming used here? Trying to find it but cannot because the youtubve search function is kinda bad!
Which distro did you use?
What if you install Linux on mac hardware and then run macOS within a VM... wonder if the terms account for that
Interesting question, some years ago people people theorized that apple end OSX server to avoid people to use virtualization as a legal loop hole even in their original hardware
What is the download size of the virtual machine?
I have a capped internet.
Around 11gb for the Ventura installer and 600mb for recovery
@@_denzy_6310 thanks a lot.
Ayo bro. what's up? how is life. Bro I had some questions.: I've got a setup question regarding my QEMU virtual machine setup. So, here's the deal: I'm running two operating systems within my VM - Fedora and Windows 11 - and my host OS is openSUSE Tumbleweed. Now, I've got two different GPUs available, an RX 7800XT and an RTX 3060. My plan is to dedicate the RTX 3060 specifically to the QEMU VM. My question is, can I utilize the RTX 3060 simultaneously on both OSs within the VM? like I will use fedora, windows at the same time on the qemu. And do I need to install any proprietary drivers for the NVIDIA GPU to ensure I get full performance from it within the VM OSs?
if you're passing through the device, you will need its drivers in the vm (windows/fedora) but don't need it for the host (suse). you can pass through the device to only one vm at a time (not both).
@@MadHau5 thanks mate
I can't use it on Fedora because of DNF instead of APT and I can't use the PPA. I guess it'd be easy once the GUI is opened but I can't even get to that point. Anyone knows what I should use in the terminal to get to where the video is starting?
As far as I remember, there's used to be a project named "Darling" to run macOS apps natively on Linux just like how Wine does but it still has issues.
darling is nowhere near the level of wine at the moment, so that's not a viable alternative. you can run some terminal apps and apparently even some very basic demo GUI apps, but nothing that's actually useful
Its still being actively developed by a small team, definitely not to the scale or maturity of wine though. Currently it can do CLI stuff pretty well, one compelling use case would be using darling to compile apps using the xcode toolchain (which you can't outside MacOS usually), this might be pretty useful when developing or in a CI/CD pipeline.
@@user-mv9iy5ph1f does that actually work? Compiling apps I mean. That's something that would be pretty useful for me
@@user-mv9iy5ph1f so currently darling can work with building ios app via CLI? Cause I'm looking a way for building ios app
It is awesome!😮
I want it just for iMessage on the PC. I'm going to give this a shot when I get my 7950x
Has anyone tried doing this to run an Xcode dev environment? Whats the performance like trying to run ios or watchos simulators? Also, is GPU passthrough available to speed up graphics?
Edit just saw that Xcode does run, still wondering what the experience is like?
i too, need to know how if want deploy flutter source code for deploy iOS Apps
You can get GPU passthrough with Qemu (at least for Windows), I think the problem would be driver support, as Apple has stopped using dedicated GPUs on their Mac's since 2020.
a clear tutorial about gpu passthrough to mac vm would be nice❤
Advice regarding quickgui: If you're on Arch and don't want to spend all eternity building it, you can yay -S quickgui-bin for a prebuilt version.
Also, installing aria2 made the download faster (or possibly placebo, I don't know).
I repeatedly had exit status failure messages building quickgui in Manjaro (arch), regarding Flutter SDK corruption or missing permissions. Quickgui-bin allowed me to try the app. Unfortunately there were a lot of problems such as USB redirection errors and hard freezes requiring power cycling.
Quickgui does not appear ready for deployment in Manjaro / arch. I suspect this is why Nick did not include quickgui in his arch build instructions at 2:40. Unfortunately, quickemu is largely crippled without it.
TLDR, use a different distro - not arch - for quickgui / quickemu.
does this not work on fedora? can't seem to find install instructions for fedora, only ubuntu
A few seconds after clicking "MacOS Base System", it crashes and shows the three options again. Then, after selecting MacOS Base System again, I get a MACH Reboot error.
Pretty sure VMWare has decent support for macOS guests, IIRC clipboard and DnD both work though TBF its been a while since I last tested it.
Is it worth it for iOS development (Swift/Objective-C)? Or do I just bite the bullet and buy a Mac Mini or something else? What does everyone think?
Depends on how much you value your time and how much money you have. Unless you're really unable to buy a Mac mini, I would probably just bite the bullet.
@@calebvanwinkle1703 I can find them for a very affordable price, but I could also invest that money into a better computer to run this more smoothly. I'll need a new rig either way. That's where I'm not sure which approach is better

As one who boycotts abusive companies, just like anything Microsoft I also have no want, nor any need to do this, but I had to watch to see just how Great Linux and it's developer community is for making stuff like this possible and being pro-consumer, even when it comes to running the competitions code within i!🐧🐧🐧
Hi. What OS do you use?
I think the biggest reason I would run Mac os on Linux is if I use Adobe and their design programs
Windows in a VM would be a much better option for that. A properly set-up Windows VM will give you about 90% of native speed, whereas MacOS will give you about 1% if you are lucky. X-Code maybe makes sense, but you would be far better off just getting a cheap Mac Mini.
Wheres mac os sonoma? why is there no option to download that?
if i install xcode on the macos vm would be i able to use the ios simulator?
its better to make a triple boot (MacOS, windoze,and Linux)
I did it on my dell Optiplex 3080 micro and made a 15minutes install guide too.
can this be done on a Windows machine running an Ubuntu virtual machine?
Can you review "Darling" (wine but for macos apps on linux)
Sadly doesn't allow graphical apps, and offers very limited support for now, iirc. Very interesting project, tho
i'll watch this later, i hope it has graphics accel cause that's the issue with the one i currently use and i don't have space to install my other gpu
QuickGUI seems pretty broken to me. On my end the window for quickgui is so small you can't even set up the VM. A quick look at the github repo shows an unresolved issue report from like 5 months ago about this very issue.
Well, the only thing i like about Mac OS is the old Text-To-Speech voices. Zarvox (from the legacy voices of mac speech) is my favorite one. I might give that one a shot!
I didn't already watch the video but this is what I googled today (and what I want to try). 😂
I always wanted to run MacOS because I had always been a Windows and Linux user. MacOS was intriguing for me because of the design and overall better OS than whatever Windows is upto (maybe because it is unix based). But I never bought a mac, because it is a closed machine and I don't like closed software. Would be great to try out MacOS. Thank you for posting the video
I’ve always found that notion to be valid but to make decisions around it is a bit extreme. I’ve always been a Windows, Mac and Linux user for work, tinkering and down time. I’d be lying if I said the closed nature of Apple had any bearing at all. If there was anything half as nice as a Macbook on the market, I’d give it a go with Linux. But then I’d find it in my bag toasting with 1% battery so it’s just never gonna happen. I’m not gonna waste my time setting everything up and then forgetting how I did it come time to do it fresh a few years later. Linux is nice but tinkering is a hobby I’ve still got actual work to do, and Windows being the actual alternative is also closed source.
@@Freshbott2 It is a fair point. I agree with it. Sometimes you have to fight with linux and setup things that should be setup on the installation. In my Arch installation, I had to setup power saving, hibernation and touchpad for my laptop, from scratch!
Now, that is great for a hobby but it gets old pretty fast when you have to do actual work. However, switching to BSD was one of my better decisions as it limited the headaches and made things easier.
You can also buy cheap Dell or HP desktop PC which are very easy to use as a Hackintosh rigs if you want to play with "real" Mac. Done that couple times.
Never heard about those quick's
QuickGUI is from 2022 seams not well maintained, or am i wrong
Haven't watched the video yet, but I was attempting to do this in November with no success. I like GarageBand, but it can only be used on Mac OS.
What happens when you get connect to SPICE? Seems like MacOS is the only issues. WIndows 11 worked fine.
Awesome! Will try for iOS development. With some kind of bridge I could code in Linux but build and run in MacOS 🤔
Hey.... Someone who's able to provide an actual use case other than "because I can". I couldn't think of one, but I forgot about this one.
Is there a way to code in Linux/swift and have a iPhone simulator?
The main reason I’d want to run mac os in Linux isn’t about cost. It’s about having some options on hardware form factor.
Does this work for building an IOS app in xcode and signing it?
How do I change the display resolution?
I miss my Apple system for 3 apps:
- Logic Pro X
- IA Writer
- Final Cut Pro
Everything else I prefer my Linux system by far.
Unfortunately these Apps are not as usable as I'd need in a VM.
Will this work on windows subsystem for linux
For me running a VM on my Linux Mint sadly became a mission impossible task no matter what. I tried Virtualbox and installed it, then I downloaded 3 pcs MacOS (Lion, Snow Leopard, High Sierra) none worked even though I followed everything they said. Then I installed the KVM QEMU Virtu, and I was able to run two setups; one kept running over and over again, and the other one simply stuck at a grey screen with a MacOS rainbow circling thingy on it. Now this Quick-Gui is doing something that it shouldn`t, first, it said something about a path that is missing and to reinstall it, I did reinstalled it like three times and nothing. Now, there was an update in the system for QEMU and I proceeded with it, now I started Quick-Gui and it showed a white screen for like 30 min already. My computer is pretty old, but I think it is reasonable with its Intel i5 (3210M) Intel HD 4000 8GB hyper-x Hynix RAM and the 500GB HDD. So, I mean people can run on their older much weaker machines, but I can`t, how is that possible?
How is the performance for this? I have the last x86 MacBook Pro, that I might want to install Linux on it, then run MacOS as a VM on it. So technically I am still running MacOS on Mac Hardware.
At the moment, running VM Ware Fusion for x86 on MacOS x86 to run Linux has really good Linux performance. Just wondering if it is worth the other way around.
I had a dual boot with Fedora on my Macbook Pro (Last Intel one). It is not really worth it because it is always a compromise. Always stuff not running - or fans getting crazy. If you love to tinker you could do it - but not as a production workspace. Getting another laptop without the T2 chip is the better choice IMHO.
@ Thanks, I was wondering more if the performance of MacOS on VM has improved any since I last tried it (on PC). Heck even MacOS VM on MacOS is slow and sucks.
As expensive as Mac hardware are, I find it compelling enough to run MacOS as host OS, so I can run all my favorite OSes from one place. PCs maybe cheaper, but the one OS where it is spotty is MacOS. Even in Hackintosh. With all the time spent (and maybe wasted) trying to get a production-quality MacOS on PC hardware, it just isn’t worth it.
Funny thing is, trying to use a Hackintosh for a year is what lead me to just buy a real Apple Mac. I ended up buying a prev. Generation new Mac Pro from Amazon with all my amazon gift cards to bring the total price down to something affordable. But has become my most productive system (MacOS with VMs in UNIX, Linux Distro, and Windows). Used it for nearly a decade before I needed to replace it with a newer one.

Does this quickemu do weird things?
Say I wanna just create the VM on my Arch laptop and then migrate it to my RHEL server without needing to install quickemu there, can I do that?
I.e. is this just a regular KVM/QEMU/libvirt VM or does it use some special sauce?
It does not work, what a pain.
It doesn't integrate with virsh/libvirt or virt-manager, and the creator says this is "out of scope for the project".
I'm not even sure how this is possible because as I recall in the past libvirt has always picked up on all my VMs even if I created them without the abstraction layer.
I am sure however that someone with more knowledge about qemu and the like would be able to do this, I am not. Sad!
is the ubuntu running nativelyor virtualized?
