Description

The new EFI flavor turns `libkrun` into an open-source alternative of Virtualization.framework on macOS. It brings some excellent additions, such as a Vulkan-capable virtio-gpu, which allows you to offload compute workloads to the host's GPU, and an extended virtio-fs implementation. Podman 5.2 is taking advantage of this: https://linuxiac.com/podman-5-2-enhances-macos-vms-with-gpu-support/. Would be nice to add this VMM backend in addition to qemu and Virtualization.framework.
