There are sane people with this many VMs on a personal machine, right? RIGHT? (startrek.website)

Half of these exist because I was bored once.

The Windows 10 and MacOS ones are GPU passthrough enabled and what I occasionally use if I have to use a Windows or Mac application. Windows 7 is also GPU enabled, but is more a nostalgia thing than anything.

I think my PopOS VM was originally installed for fun, but I used it along with my Arch Linux, Debian 12 and Testing (I run Testing on host, but I wanted a fresh environment and was too lazy to spin up a Docker or chroot), Ubuntu 23.10 and Fedora to test various software builds and bugs, as I don't like touching normal Ubuntu unless I must.

The Windows Server 2022 one is one I recently spun up to mess with Windows Docker Containers (I have to port an app to Windows, and was looking at that for CI). That all become moot when I found out Github's CI doesn't support Windows Docker containers despite supporting Windows runners (The organization I'm doing it for uses Github, so I have to use it).

A list of VMs in Virt Manager: archlinux-2, debian10, debian12, debiantesting, fedora39, freebsd14.0, gentoo, Mac OS, openindiana, opensuse15.5, popos22.04, ReactOS, ubuntu23.10, win8.1, Windows10, Windows11, Windows11LTSC (Which is running), Windows7, windows_2000, Windows_Neptune_Build_5111, Windows_Server_2022, and winvista.

MacOS 15 on proxmox ? How do you make the iso exactly ?

    I think this VM is still on Sonoma, actually. I still need to upgrade.

    I can't remember exactly what I did to get an installer image, but there's a million shell scripts online for downloading macOS installer images. For booting it, I use this premade OpenCore for KVM/Proxmox. I have to check if I made other modifications (I run on an AMD CPU), but I think I mainly just had to set the serial and model - I personally used a 2019 Mac Pro.

    Yes, I downloaded it, but just couldn't figure out how to turn it into a bootable installer ISO without an already working macos instance

    I could be totally delusional, but I think it's just something like dd if=whatchamacallit.dmg of=whatchamacallit.img. I think you can get a net install image through macrecovery, which is a utility included with OpenCore packages.
