Project Mendacius

GUI based virtualization tool to run Linux, based on the Virtualization framework introduced by Apple for macOS Big Sur with support for Apple Silicon architecture (also supported by Intel based macs)

Makes the experience much more simpler by having quick action buttons for installing openssh-server in the guest operating system and one for IP address lookup making it one step easier to launch applications in GUI mode through ssh and XQuartz

Requirements:

  2. qemu (For running GUI based operating systems)

Building:
