Seeking Continuous Sponsorship for development #139

I'm the author of the vz project, which is aimed at creating virtual machines and running Linux-based operating systems using Go, leveraging Apple's Virtualization.framework. This project has grown in complexity due to several factors:

  1. Integration with Apple's Virtualization.framework requiring a deep understanding of Go programming and Apple's virtualization technology.
  2. Ensuring compatibility with evolving APIs and various Linux-based operating systems.
  3. Efficient virtual machine management, particularly in cross-platform scenarios.
  4. Necessity for maintaining PUI PUI Linux used as a peripheral tool for testing to ensure quality.

The challenges mentioned above, along with the demanding API upkeep, have made maintenance time-consuming and occasionally overwhelming, especially as this is not my full-time job. I am handling several other projects which often results in a lower priority for vz maintenance.

I believe with continuous sponsorship, it will be feasible to dedicate more time to this project, even during weekends, treating it as a job, and managing it with a fresh mindset. This support would significantly help in ensuring the project's steady progress, quality assurance, and the provision of better features and support for the community.

Your support would mean a lot and contribute immensely to the ongoing development and maintenance of the vz project.

Thank you for considering sponsorship 🙏
