I am a software engineer. I have been using triple-booted desktops with different OSes (Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu) for about a decade, and I’ve been using MacOS mostly as my daily driver. I am thinking about buying an AMD laptop to replace my outdated x299 workstation, which consumes a lot of power. I’ve been thinking about installing Hackintosh on it too. This will be my 5th hack. I know this laptop should support it. The problem is different. I’ve been using only Intel-based PCs all my life, and I just came to the understanding that AMD CPUs won’t work with Docker emulation in MacOS. That is why curious me came here with a very non-standard question, looking for a glimmer of hope:
This time, I am thinking about using only one OS as a host instead of having three different disks for each OS and running Windows and MacOS in VMs. Is it possible to run Docker and VMs in QEMU-KVM on the host and be able to connect to the Docker from the VMs? If Docker works fine on AMD CPUs in Ubuntu, I could simply use most of the processing power dedicated to Docker and use MacOS in a VM as the GUI to work with Docker.
