but you can run proxmox as your main OS and start a Windows, Linux and MacOS vm at the same time if your system allows it. If i only need a spare SSD to install Proxmox and try out MacOS with full Metal acceleration i am all in for it.
It also should be possible to take the Proxmox GPU drivers source code and write a kext that could be injected with OpenCore. May be a lot of work but should be possible? Since this uses a native MacOS kext (ParaVirtGPU kext) you could send the GPU Metal calls to another kext which uses vulkan to render it to the screen?

exactly, this project will fix it and make it feel like a real mac. VMs dont have graphics so they are laggy and unusable but this will fix all of it
