The acquisition of an unmodified disk image of Apple’s macOS Sonoma operating system, specifically tailored for use with the Olarila distribution, allows users to perform custom installations on non-Apple hardware or within virtualized environments. These images, often referred to by the term in question, provide a base system for building customized, bootable macOS environments.
Obtaining such a resource facilitates experimentation with macOS Sonoma on a wider range of platforms than officially supported by Apple. This can be beneficial for developers testing software compatibility, enthusiasts building “Hackintosh” systems, or individuals seeking to explore macOS in a virtual machine without requiring dedicated Apple hardware. Historically, obtaining and utilizing these resources has been a cornerstone of the “Hackintosh” community, allowing for innovation and broader access to Apple’s operating system.
