We have seen Google’s Stadia running on an e-Book reader, we have seen Windows 10 running on a 192MB RAM machine, and we recently saw a Nokia Lumia 950XL run the upcoming Windows 10X. Now, we have a video showing a 2020 iPad Pro running macOS Catalina. It is kind of like Hackintoshes, but virtual.
Now, if you are wondering about the process, Yevgen used the UTM app, which allows virtual machines to run on iOS, to boot the macOS software. Moreover, he also used a special method to load up the operating software on the iPad. This method was shared by a user named Kholia on Github.
Kholia shared the resources for the method to run macOS on an iPad named OSX-KVM. KVM is an open-source Kernel-based Virtual Machine utility that is integrated into Linux. This reportedly “lets you turn Linux into a hypervisor that allows a host machine to run multiple, isolated virtual environments called guests or virtual machines (VMs).”
