!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

No, but there's next to nothing on Mac that isn't on Windows, or has some equivalent on Windows.
I run Macs. I don't like Windows. I've used Windows for years, and still use it at work. For 99% of my usage, there's nothing that stops me from using the other platform. It's just a preference. In fact, there are free apps on Windows that cost money on macOS. And I've paid for some of them.
This the least dumb question in this sub
No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There's no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.
I have tried and failed this too many times to count because I have an AMD processor.
Yeah, not shocked. Apple never used AMD CPUs. GPUs, yes, but I don’t think you’ll have much luck outside of specific Intel SKUs (or at least, SKUs that are architecturally very similar to ones they used in actual machines sold by Apple.
Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven't tried, but I heard it's pretty well working nowadays.. At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh
Maybe I'll go and pick their brains. I have had numerous failures but maybe I need to be using something other than VMware or something.
I just know I have tried suggestions from lots of reddit threads and they all failed to make a successful boot to even begin to install.
maybe try qemu-kvm? i recall hearing from an amd user friend that it worked.
It does! Pretty decently at that. Though I mostly used it so I could build for iOS. Got a refurb with apple silicon a bit later on, builds are faster, so it gets turned off quicker.
There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux called Darling. In theory you could run that in WSL. The only downside is it is in very early development and not really at all usable
Don't do it brother. Just cut your losses and try to find an alternative. There is no end to the suffering should you go down the path of running apple software on non apple hardware.
Does running OSX in a virtual machine count?
https://github.com/afonsoft/VMwareWithMacOS *I have not vetted these instructions, just an example.
Are we talking about Logic or Final Cut here? That’s a strict, plain “no”.
But I would expect somebody would come up with Parallels-like solution now since Windows on ARM is a thing.
No
