Fun fact: "sosumi" is deliberately supposed to sound like "so sue me": it comes from the classic Mac OS alert sound and was named that because Apple Inc (the computer company) had been involved in long-running lawsuits with Apple Corps (The Beatles' record label) who alleged that Apple Inc were infringing on Apple Corps' name ever since the Apple IIGS was released because it contained a sound synth chip that could be used to create music. Supposedly, Apple Inc's lawyers said that the sounds introduced with Mac OS 7, created by Jim Reekes, had names that could be considered "too musical" and would therefore attract legal attention from Apple Corps, so Jim Reekes joked that the sound we now know as "Sosumi" should be called "Let it Beep", a pun on The Beatles' song "Let it Be", then remarked "so sue me" when told that the name could not be used. He ended up submitting the sound again under the name "Sosumi", lying to Apple's legal team that it was a Japanese word.

Snap is just cancer. Closed source backend, only one repo that no one else can fork or even host, it's a very proprietary system in what is suppose to be free and open source operating system.
J'ai suivi le développement de QEmu depuis ses débuts (j'ai une très haute estime de Fabrice Bellard en tant que dev) et quand je vois ce que c'est devenu, c'est juste impressionnant !
@@nexsych Well, since he's using "apt" in the terminal, the distro is Debian-based, so I would guess KDE Neon with the Plasma desktop or maybe Kubuntu.
Super Video. The efi Tip to bump Up the Resolution was handy. I have to other tips i think you didnt mentioned. First is to change the disk size before the first install by changing the Image size of the qemu Image in the terminal. Later on is difficult. Second tip is to Turn Off Hardware acceleration at least If you dont use gpu passthrough...helps me to increase the speed of Chrome and Spotify and some other stuff significant.
@@FS--ew3se not unless you dual boot linux, since snaps are app packages for linux, so unless you dual boot, or somehow figure out a way to use this is wsl, then no
I can’t thank you enough for this video! I am an avid linux fan, but needed macOS for some work and didn’t want to spend so much money on buying a MacBook. Your video popped up on my home page for the rescue! Thanks again.
Same. I used the old hackintosh methods a few years back when making a VM of OSX and it had a lot of bugs/rendering issues. May give this a try on my new workstation and see how it does
@@experimental0000: Apparently not very well, as he said at the end. Can’t use graphics heavy programs because of hardware acceleration problems. I suspect that’s something to do with nVidia letting everyone down, not producing the video drivers. 😡
@@GamersGuard nvidia has been unsupported on macOS since 10.13 (unless you had that one macbook that Apple had to support for one more year) so absolutely not
Also yes when Apple dropped nvidia support back then they basically killed the support for their brand new higher end macbook pros at the time that they were still selling and honestly I still fucking hate them for it
@@WingDings_666 only modern nvidia GPUs are unsupported, Kepler GPUs(6xx and 7xx except the 750ti which has the same architecture as the 9xx series) are still supported on the latest macOS natively. Altough it may be removed once older macs with nvidia GPUs stop being supported with the latest updates
Would be GREAT to have a guide showing how to do a GPU passthrough using the iGPU, thus leaving the main GPU free for the host OS and giving MacOS full graphical acceleration on another monitor. I'll buy you a tea if you can help. :-)
I highly suggest a self lookup. If you like techy stuff in general the knowledge you gain by looking things up yourself there becomes pretty invaluable and you'll probably even end up customizing things you didn't even think or know about if you had not took the time to do look up.

Congrats on the video, I've been following for months and this video has a nice touch of humor, really enjoyed it
As MacOS user, I saw a white line around the dock. That means something is not completely right yet. I am running Open Core which means I can run a modern MacOS on an old machine (Mac Pro 2010!) I have to run a program that filters all problems out afterwards, but that is specified for each Mac individually. 😊
This still works fine on 22.04, even though I read that the project has been abandoned. This is by far the easiest way to install MacOS. The only catch is that your drive needs to be large enough to create the virtual image. Apparently, snaps has a bug that prevents it from fully accessing symlinks; i.e., creating a symlink into another, larger drive will not work.
This looks like a brilliant tool to have for sysadmins maintaining Apple devices. When iPhones/iPads crash and need to be reset, or if they need enrolling into an MDM, a program called Apple Configurator 2 needs to be used. It's free, but as you've probably already guessed, it only runs on macOS. With USB passthrough to make devices appear in the VM, I would be able to have this very important utility with me without lugging an expensive Macbook around just for this one purpose.
5:02 .. sadly no.. I end up with an error message in QEMU: vm_swap_create_file failed @ XX secs repeating PS: adding the own username to group kfm fixes this problem. They should patch this in sosumi.
Wonderful tutorial. Works great. Is there a way we can easily upgrade to Big Sur? And how might we be able to change the refresh rate (My monitor is 144hz, built in lcd is 240hz)
Seems to be stuck on Ubuntu 22.04 on Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC05 with Ryzen 5700U. The installation of MacOS starts, and then a reboot, and then another progress bar. That progress bar is stuck on "about 10 minutes remaining..." To be clear: I waited for 30-60 and saw no progress. I haven't tried waiting for hours
Very nice! Many thnks. But can you change storage size from 64GB to something more? Also can you use an external SSD as the targeted drive instead of the Hard Drive in the laptop?
I'm a Mac user with Ubuntu installed in a VM for development purposes and for some unknown reason I am watching a full video on how to install MacOS on Linux.

Great video man! But my concern is, will it run logic pro without too many problems? Since i'm not sure it uses grapich acceleration (i think it doesnt) would this setup be good if i have 16 G of ram and 4 cores free to give to the vm? Will logic run smoothly or is it too demanding for a VM?
Nice video…if you install Catalina on this virtual machine, can you then run the “MacOS update” to update your Catalina to BigSur or Monterey? Thank you!
I'd rather build the lxd from source for ubuntu 22.04 for avoiding snap. But thanks god now there's Debian bookworm with native lxd so now I don't have to build that on Ubuntu.
3:00 - your statement about EULA is incorrect here. You *CAN* run macOS in VM. But all hardware must be Apple hardware under the hood. If you run Linux or VMware ESXi on Apple hardware (like Mac Pro for example) and on top of that you run macOS - that's perfectly fine. But if you run the same VM on Linux or ESX running on non-Apple server - then it's not "legal" according to EULA (where is it really "illegal" depends on country law you're in)
Lol, there is always one of these people, that because they don't have a need for it, feel the need to comment. "Why would i want to do that ?" - If you're asking that question, then you probably have no personal need, however there are a lot of people out there that do need it, mainly for work / project testing.
Mine crashed during installation and now i try to restart it it says 'failed to open swap file 2 - vm_swap_create_file failed @ 32 secs - It just goes to reinstall Mac OS so I will try that
I am positively surprised how well that worked! Thank you very much for that tutorial! I have only one Question: is it possible to put the VM in Fullscreen?
Sorry, not working for me. Second trial through the whole of it. Once installation is finished, I always end up in the installer window. Even when the Mac HD is booted from. I think I followed correctly your instructions, but I never see the OS like in 12:53. Any ideas?
We have the same first name, same culture, and drink tea.I knew I liked you :) Great video. ASs much as I am on Linux, I still rely on iMovie for simple and fast short video editing. Crazy, non?
Linux is Awesome and I use KDE Neon as my daily driver. But the fact that one way or the other you'll find that Mac is the final landing OS for a smooth, efficient and productive experience. If we can now use Linux as my main, and Mac for for learning and other things where Linux kinda fails to deliver, it's always great to have an option. Anyways, the fact still being, I would love to see Linux dominating and becoming number one in every aspect.
Should’t really be a challenge, since macOS 11 still runs on x86. It‘ll be a few years until they drop support for their Intel based computers, and then of course macOS will be incompatible with x86.

3:38 They really really don't like Snaps😂
Basically the reason why I use Linux Mint over Xubuntu.
For very good reason
Not really
Snap is just cancer. Closed source backend, only one repo that no one else can fork or even host, it's a very proprietary system in what is suppose to be free and open source operating system.
@@duckmeat4674 Oh people really really hate snaps
J'ai suivi le développement de QEmu depuis ses débuts (j'ai une très haute estime de Fabrice Bellard en tant que dev) et quand je vois ce que c'est devenu, c'est juste impressionnant !

Great video! Perfect to be able to spin up MacOS when the parents call in need of support. Subscribed both here and on ODYSEE! Btw I run Arch.
@@nexsych Well, since he's using "apt" in the terminal, the distro is Debian-based, so I would guess KDE Neon with the Plasma desktop or maybe Kubuntu.
Super Video. The efi Tip to bump Up the Resolution was handy. I have to other tips i think you didnt mentioned.
First is to change the disk size before the first install by changing the Image size of the qemu Image in the terminal. Later on is difficult.
Second tip is to Turn Off Hardware acceleration at least If you dont use gpu passthrough...helps me to increase the speed of Chrome and Spotify and some other stuff significant.
This is exactly what I needed, merci beaucoup :D
You’re welcome :)
@@TheLinuxEXP does it work for windows
@@FS--ew3se not unless you dual boot linux, since snaps are app packages for linux, so unless you dual boot, or somehow figure out a way to use this is wsl, then no
I can’t thank you enough for this video! I am an avid linux fan, but needed macOS for some work and didn’t want to spend so much money on buying a MacBook. Your video popped up on my home page for the rescue!
Thanks again.
I love how sosumi here takes a turn and is used *against* apple, contrary to the origins of the name, how the turn tables
Very cool video! Didn't know this was working so easy 😁
Same. I used the old hackintosh methods a few years back when making a VM of OSX and it had a lot of bugs/rendering issues. May give this a try on my new workstation and see how it does
@@experimental0000: Apparently not very well, as he said at the end. Can’t use graphics heavy programs because of hardware acceleration problems.
I suspect that’s something to do with nVidia letting everyone down, not producing the video drivers. 😡
is gpu acceleration available macos? Does mouse statters?
limited, if you want full gpu accel you must use a hackintosh, but make sure your gpu has compatible kexts.
Gtx 1050 supported on laptop?
@@GamersGuard nvidia has been unsupported on macOS since 10.13 (unless you had that one macbook that Apple had to support for one more year) so absolutely not
Also yes when Apple dropped nvidia support back then they basically killed the support for their brand new higher end macbook pros at the time that they were still selling and honestly I still fucking hate them for it
@@WingDings_666 only modern nvidia GPUs are unsupported, Kepler GPUs(6xx and 7xx except the 750ti which has the same architecture as the 9xx series) are still supported on the latest macOS natively. Altough it may be removed once older macs with nvidia GPUs stop being supported with the latest updates
Sossumio - the other Sussudio we never got to hear from Phil Collins
Would be GREAT to have a guide showing how to do a GPU passthrough using the iGPU, thus leaving the main GPU free for the host OS and giving MacOS full graphical acceleration on another monitor. I'll buy you a tea if you can help. :-)
I highly suggest a self lookup. If you like techy stuff in general the knowledge you gain by looking things up yourself there becomes pretty invaluable and you'll probably even end up customizing things you didn't even think or know about if you had not took the time to do look up.
Congrats on the video, I've been following for months and this video has a nice touch of humor, really enjoyed it
Thanks :)
Damn! I can be an iOS developer now.
I really enjoyed the little skits in between spiced up the video id like to see that in future videos too.
Also all the fancy effects like blur are disabled I'm pretty sure you can fix this with a GPU but it's not a issue really
As MacOS user, I saw a white line around the dock. That means something is not completely right yet. I am running Open Core which means I can run a modern MacOS on an old machine (Mac Pro 2010!) I have to run a program that filters all problems out afterwards, but that is specified for each Mac individually. 😊
This still works fine on 22.04, even though I read that the project has been abandoned. This is by far the easiest way to install MacOS. The only catch is that your drive needs to be large enough to create the virtual image. Apparently, snaps has a bug that prevents it from fully accessing symlinks; i.e., creating a symlink into another, larger drive will not work.
What, really abandoned?
@@linux2650yes. I don't remember exactly where I read it, but you can see the GitHub repo changed to read-only in 2021.
That linux system looks sexy!
What linux flavor and DM are you using?
DM is kde
This looks like a brilliant tool to have for sysadmins maintaining Apple devices. When iPhones/iPads crash and need to be reset, or if they need enrolling into an MDM, a program called Apple Configurator 2 needs to be used. It's free, but as you've probably already guessed, it only runs on macOS. With USB passthrough to make devices appear in the VM, I would be able to have this very important utility with me without lugging an expensive Macbook around just for this one purpose.
So you don't like coffee? I can't believe it, I thought we could be friends.
Coffee has a taste that I really hate :)

Tea or Coffee, Caffeine unites us.
5:02 .. sadly no.. I end up with an error message in QEMU: vm_swap_create_file failed @ XX secs repeating
PS: adding the own username to group kfm fixes this problem.
They should patch this in sosumi.
Wonderful tutorial. Works great. Is there a way we can easily upgrade to Big Sur? And how might we be able to change the refresh rate (My monitor is 144hz, built in lcd is 240hz)
Seems to be stuck on Ubuntu 22.04 on Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC05 with Ryzen 5700U.
The installation of MacOS starts, and then a reboot, and then another progress bar. That progress bar is stuck on "about 10 minutes remaining..."
To be clear: I waited for 30-60 and saw no progress. I haven't tried waiting for hours
Very nice! Many thnks. But can you change storage size from 64GB to something more? Also can you use an external SSD as the targeted drive instead of the Hard Drive in the laptop?
Can I add the VM to virt-manager?
This was great ! Can you please make a simple guide on gpu passthrough ?
No, I don’t have the hardware to do it
Wow, that's awesome!
At school right now but when I'm home this is gonna be installed immediately on my system.
Awesome video btw
:0 now that was an Intro caught me off guard lol :D
Hi, macOS Catalina is old… do you know how I can install macOS Ventura in QEMU?
Loving the jokes in this video, good stuff haha
I'm a Mac user with Ubuntu installed in a VM for development purposes and for some unknown reason I am watching a full video on how to install MacOS on Linux.
5:58 lol, I am offended "get a coffee if you are that kind of person" (kidding of course), I drink both, what kind of person am I? I use Gnome too just in case it makes a difference ;)
The kind of person that says there is no difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Coffee is the only accepted choice vs. tea.
@@ButImFeelingMuchBetterNow 😂. I like Pepsi more, I am not that kind of person :p... and tea for the morning, and coffee for just before sleep time.... did I get that right? ;)
@@Dr_Dude I don't think coffee before bed is good
@@progamerbufovi how dare you? (kidding)
You are right, the funny part is that I have two of my friends are strange at that, they say they can't sleep well before they drink coffee?!!!! absured
@@Dr_Dude lol I then you good
Can you upgrade Catalina to Big Sur or will it break something?
I haven’t tried it!
@@TheLinuxEXP okay
Great video man! But my concern is, will it run logic pro without too many problems? Since i'm not sure it uses grapich acceleration (i think it doesnt) would this setup be good if i have 16 G of ram and 4 cores free to give to the vm? Will logic run smoothly or is it too demanding for a VM?
Snap plus macOS, what a holy combo! Next you should install snap on macOS
Great video once again 😍 and I'm the 18th commenter this time 😁
Nice video…if you install Catalina on this virtual machine, can you then run the “MacOS update” to update your Catalina to BigSur or Monterey? Thank you!
I would rather write macOS from scratch instead of using snap
I'd rather build the lxd from source for ubuntu 22.04 for avoiding snap. But thanks god now there's Debian bookworm with native lxd so now I don't have to build that on Ubuntu.
3:00 - your statement about EULA is incorrect here.
You *CAN* run macOS in VM. But all hardware must be Apple hardware under the hood. If you run Linux or VMware ESXi on Apple hardware (like Mac Pro for example) and on top of that you run macOS - that's perfectly fine. But if you run the same VM on Linux or ESX running on non-Apple server - then it's not "legal" according to EULA (where is it really "illegal" depends on country law you're in)
no gpu pass through no fun
9:30 You can do it as well with mounting ESP.img with guestmount
Why would i want to do that ?
Testing purposes, running a specific Mac OS app, coding on Xcode for a specific project… plenty of potential applications
Chaos
Development and testing?
Lol, there is always one of these people, that because they don't have a need for it, feel the need to comment. "Why would i want to do that ?" - If you're asking that question, then you probably have no personal need, however there are a lot of people out there that do need it, mainly for work / project testing.
@@owainharris it seems like a joke although I am not sure
Thanks for the video I tried it and it is working really well straight out of the box, cheers
I was searching for this today!!!
Fantastic intro man! Well done
Thanks!
Mine crashed during installation and now i try to restart it it says 'failed to open swap file 2 - vm_swap_create_file failed @ 32 secs - It just goes to reinstall Mac OS so I will try that
I am positively surprised how well that worked! Thank you very much for that tutorial!
I have only one Question: is it possible to put the VM in Fullscreen?
Sorry, not working for me. Second trial through the whole of it. Once installation is finished, I always end up in the installer window. Even when the Mac HD is booted from. I think I followed correctly your instructions, but I never see the OS like in 12:53. Any ideas?
08:10 "Ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" nice touch
I was expecting the """one command""" to be curl | sh, but it wasn't, so this is legit cool!
how about upgrading to monterey? is that possible?
I prefer OSX-KVM, and have a nice Big Sur installation. However this could be great for anyone looking for an easier method.
We have the same first name, same culture, and drink tea.I knew I liked you :)
Great video. ASs much as I am on Linux, I still rely on iMovie for simple and fast short video editing. Crazy, non?
This amazing for anyone wanting to develop for iOS and not wanting to spend thousands on Apple hardware
Linux is Awesome and I use KDE Neon as my daily driver. But the fact that one way or the other you'll find that Mac is the final landing OS for a smooth, efficient and productive experience.
If we can now use Linux as my main, and Mac for for learning and other things where Linux kinda fails to deliver, it's always great to have an option.
Anyways, the fact still being, I would love to see Linux dominating and becoming number one in every aspect.
MacOS is horrific
Is there a way to access the host file system from sosumi vm?
Useful video with positive vibes! Let's see if they can port the new M1 optimised MacOS, this will be a challenge!
Should’t really be a challenge, since macOS 11 still runs on x86. It‘ll be a few years until they drop support for their Intel based computers, and then of course macOS will be incompatible with x86.
I keep getting the error that it failed to open swap file 2. Is that normal?
The beer at 6:35 is a Grimbergen Blonde, 6.7% ABV. From their website: A smooth, blonde ale with ripe yellow fruit flavours, a spicy note of clove and a dense, cream-coloured foam.
It’s kinda the baseline of what I can drink. Anything below that just tastes bad to me :)
Great Bit Of Humour and Good Video. Thank You..
Hi I am stuck at the Terms and Conditions page. Have opened and scrolled down both terms A and B but Agree button stays light gray and nothing happens if I click it. What am I doing wrong?
Same here
Man, your videos are the Brest!
My partner has a Late 2015 4K iMac and the hybrid drive died on her last year. We haven't had the chance to get to an Apple store for a repair, and since it's Apple getting inside the machine for a self-repair is too risky by ourselves. I have Elementary OS running on an external SSD for her right now, but I am interested to see if this will work for her in the meantime.
You can run MacOS in an external SSD too. That's my current setup as I don't want to open the computer and replace the HDD.
Just install mac os to the external.
Use a thunderbolt enclosure. You'll necessarily know it's an external. ;)
Could you make a guide for that KDE setup, it looks great
Yes, that’s exactly what I’d like to see. Looks very similar to dark mode in macOS Catalina.
Do you know what's his flavour?
your intro made me chuckle immediately
Can i use with Proxmox LXC ?
Download clover configurator and change your smbios and graphics properties to get hardware acceleration...
Really? Even with nVidia graphics cards??…
"Cup of coffee" you'd say, more like "grow a coffee tree" :). Tonight, I went from corrupted Win OS. To installing Linux (first time) and now running Mac OS, thanks to this genius!! Happy Man, I Am!!
It would be better if there will be a way to enable graphics too. Or you can use GPU passthrough
Whats the name of the linux distro you use?
can you please make a small tutorial on passthrough gpu / USB or other stuff ?? or can you please give a guide to them. thanks in advance. Awesome tut
How much internet data it will take to download and install it ??
