I wanted to refresh my Mac skills, as I've been working in Windows/Linux environments for some time. This page -

Has a great page on getting Windows 10 and MacOS running on an old i5
running Linux.

He's running a Thinkpad T410 with an i5 and 8 GB of RAM. I'm running mine on
a T410 with an i7, so have a little more power to go around.

MacOS was a breeze to install, although it wanted to send notifications to
an iPhone 4S that I haven't had in YEARS.



... All those updates, and still imperfect!

are you running MacOSX on a VM? or is this a Hackintosh install? i have tried
a few different times to tinker with a Hackintosh but it can be a hair
pulling experince lol. and you have to be mindful to not let it ever update,
or it will wipe out al lthe hand made Kext files.

It's running in qemu; most of my VM experience has been bare metal with ESXi and Virtualbox/VMWare running on Windows. I have a home lab running Proxmox, which looks like it uses qemu for the virtualization, so I'm interested in trying it out as a virtual environment on my desktop OS.

for the most part ProxMox is usually pretty stable. i have had an update blow up my system before though so i am very careful about updates.
