Matcha runs macOS in a proxmox VM with an OpenCore BIOS that contains an SMBIOS setup for iMacPro1,1 which matches my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-core processor well enough.

Installation

You can follow thenickdude's awesome guide with these secret sauce bits to get going. I'll add some notes since those might disappear...

  • Note that thenickdude's Monterey install wasn't working on July 3 2022, as it was pulling the wrong image from Apple. I used Big Sur and once running, immediately upgraded it to Monterey, which went flawlessly.
  • Set up a OpenCore VM with an unclaimed serial using SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 to match up well enough with my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X.
  • This helped to mount and access the EFI boot drive.
  • I used a macOS release of my old fave Meld
