rctill,
Yeah, that is the hack I was talking about and I have used that before with the Big Sur beta. My installation was as slow as molasses, I think in part because the VMware tools are not optimized for a platform combination that is not supported by VMware. Or maybe I just missed something on my setup.
If someone can get this working properly and with good speed, it would be pretty cool. Even cooler would be a machine running Linux with a macOS VM running there.

I have not checked the prices but I would imagine that buying your own personal Mac would be cheaper.
Depending on what you need to do, it might not even need to be a particularly powerful Mac.

Of course, at the moment it would need to be an Intel-based Mac.
