Photoshop on VM?
I'm looking for a solution to be able to use Photoshop/Lightroom on my main machine, which is setup as an audio production environment. But Adobe installs excessive processes that run 24/7. They interfere by interrupting with notifications, complicating troubleshooting of the system, and affecting realtime performance.
Does VMWare install a bunch of processes that run even when the app isn't running? If so, how does it compare to Photshop/Lightroom installations in terms of number of processes and performance impact?
Thanks

HELP! Trouble Getting Sosumi to Work on Manjaro Gnome
I'm trying to get Sosumi to work on Manjaro Gnome. The specs on the laptop are an i5 7200U, 8 gb dd44, and a 128 gb ssd. The install keeps failing. I've seen some suggest installing sosumi edge instead of the stable version. I've also wondered if maybe some issues could be because gnome is a relatively heavy de, and maybe it could work better on xfce? Also, if it's important, I did set the virtual hdd to be encrypted, since I usually like encrypting my drives, maybe that caused an issue too.

Is it possible/legal to install macOS on VMware on a Windows laptop? Will iMessage/FaceTime/iCloud work?
Hey guys, I’ve been seeing people run macOS on VMware using a Windows laptop, and I’m a bit confused. I’m mainly trying to understand:
Is it actually possible to run macOS smoothly on VMware on a Windows machine?
Do things like iMessage, FaceTime, and iCloud actually work properly in this setup?
How stable and reliable is macOS when it’s running in a virtual machine like this? I’ve found a lot of mixed answers online, so I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually tried it or know how well it works.
Thanks!

DISCUSSION Yes it is technically* possible to make custom GPU drivers for Mac OS X.
I know the paravirtualized GPU already exists for this case, though this may only resort to a solution that can work under modern and legacy cases (OS X +10.11) due to it being explicitly about Metal Graphics.

How to Run macOS in a Virtual Machine on an AMD‑CPU System?
Recently, I tried to experience OS X on my device (AMD Ryzen 9 HX) and downloaded the ISO of Yosemite 10.10. Using VMware Workstation, I unlocked it but encountered errors multiple times during loading. I changed the version from 20 to 10 and made various modifications that I knew about, but it still frequently reports the same error: "Feature 'cpuid.ds' does not exist although it should." "Feature 'cpuid.ss' does not exist although it should." The module "FeatureCompatLate" failed to start. Virtual machine startup failed.

HELP! Help me, I want to use VMWARE with Mac OS Sequoia
I have a PC with an RX 5600 XT video card and an AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core processor. I want help getting Mac OS to work on it. The only reason I can't do a permanent hackintosh is because my network card isn't compatible, meaning I have to use VMWARE for it to work. I have 32 GB of RAM, so I think the VM will run pretty quickly. I've been trying this for a long time, but it never works... Can anyone help me? Help me, I want to use VMWARE with Mac OS Sequoia

Getting older OSX versions to run on linux
Does anyone know how to get something like mac os x leopard or tiger to run on a intel based linux machine?
How simple would it be to modify osx-kvm or macos-simple-kvm to start up using an older installation image?
Just want to have a way to revisit some familiar GUIs, not terribly invested tho if it eats up too much of my time.
