No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There's no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.

    I have tried and failed this too many times to count because I have an AMD processor.

    Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven't tried, but I heard it's pretty well working nowadays.. At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh

    Maybe I'll go and pick their brains. I have had numerous failures but maybe I need to be using something other than VMware or something.

    I just know I have tried suggestions from lots of reddit threads and they all failed to make a successful boot to even begin to install.

    There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux called Darling. In theory you could run that in WSL. The only downside is it is in very early development and not really at all usable

    Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?

    McDonalds discontinued the Super Size option in 2004 after a falsified documentary painted them in a bad light in the public eye.

    .......what? Oh, are we not replying with unrelated statements? I thought that's what we were doing since he was asking about Windows, and you replied about Linux.

    ... And he said it might work on wsl, which is Linux on windows translation layer, including graphics support.

    A lot of Linux tooling has opened up to windows users because of it, which would include darling, to run mac apps, via wsl, on windows.

    She, but yeah. I don't think it's a good idea, but it is technically a way to run a small subset of macos software on windows without a VM, just using multiple compatibility layers instead

    IIRC, WSL is a VM, albeit one tightly integrated and very fast.

    WSL is the windows subsystem for Linux. It lets you run Ubuntu terminal in Windows. So it would ultimately be running on windows. Though that feels like it would be more complex than running a macOS VM.

    Don't do it brother. Just cut your losses and try to find an alternative. There is no end to the suffering should you go down the path of running apple software on non apple hardware.

  • No, but there's next to nothing on Mac that isn't on Windows, or has some equivalent on Windows.

    I run Macs. I don't like Windows. I've used Windows for years, and still use it at work. For 99% of my usage, there's nothing that stops me from using the other platform. It's just a preference. In fact, there are free apps on Windows that cost money on macOS. And I've paid for some of them.

    Does running OSX in a virtual machine count?

    This the least dumb question in this sub

    Are we talking about Logic or Final Cut here? That’s a strict, plain “no”.

    But I would expect somebody would come up with Parallels-like solution now since Windows on ARM is a thing.

    Some old mac classic apps even run in a browser iirc
