Previous versions of windows subsystem use the compatibility layer. WSL 2 actually uses a Ubuntu Installation. This led me to think would it be possible to use the windows subsystem too virtualize OS X?
I think it would be really cool if I could access a Mac OS X terminal using the windows subsystem.
I use a Mac for one purpose. I have some automations that I use with cfgutil. I found the quickest and most efficient way to reset iPads is a combination of MDM and starting the process out with cfgutil. Basically the iPad is told to reset to factory condition, the device is renamed, a background is applied and automatic enrollment is initiated. Then the device can be unplugged and everything is pushed down wirelessly though MDM. This gives me the power of MDM but the granular control of some very specific naming conventions and corresponding background application.
I just set up a fresh install of Windows 11 with WSL and USB support. Right now I'm testing out libmobiledevice, to rename iOS devices and it works really well. The problem with libmobiledevice, is that it only includes a restore functionality which takes longer and reinstalls the firmware instead of just initiating a reset.
I'm sure that there would be a bunch of other great use cases for a hackintosh windows subsystem for OSX.
I'm hoping somebody has already attempted this and that a solution for this already exists. If not, what does everybody think of this? Is it feasible, could something like this be done?
