macOS Big Sur (ARM) Support #49

This is not an issue, but rather a question: why is there no alternative to virtualizing macOS Big Sur on M-Series machines? I've seen that even Parallels cannot virtualize operative systems under Monterrey; why isn't it possible when this is an arm-based system?

KhaosT commented 4 months ago

All macOS virtualization solutions on Apple silicon uses the framework provided by Apple, and that thing requires special support from the OS image to run, which only exists on Monterey and later.
