OSX-KVM is a collection of scripts, firmware files, and documentation for running macOS virtual machines on Linux with QEMU and KVM. It uses OpenCore and OVMF components to create a Virtual Hackintosh without requiring a Mac host. The project can fetch installers for multiple macOS generations, prepare installation media, and guide users through the complete virtual machine setup. It supports Intel VT-x and AMD SVM hosts, although newer macOS releases impose additional CPU instruction requirements. Included resources cover networking, libvirt, offline installation, headless operation, diagnostics, cloud environments, and GPU passthrough experiments. The repository is useful for macOS testing, development, research, and build-farm scenarios on compatible hardware. Users must still evaluate Apple licensing requirements and the hardware-specific limitations of their chosen configuration.

  • OpenCore-based macOS virtualization
  • QEMU and KVM hardware acceleration
  • Multiple macOS installer versions
  • Intel and AMD host compatibility
