Description
Hi there,
I've searched and haven't been able to find an answer or an open issue about this, so I thought I'd just ask. Is there any particular reason why there's no support for running macOS 11 guests in UTM on macOS? I'd find it helpful if I could do this, particularly when M1 Macs eventually become unsupported by Apple.
Best,
Hamish

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by determining whether UTM can run macOS 11 guests on macOS and what technical or platform limitation prevents it; done would require a documented explanation or a clearly scoped support decision.
