The other way of doing this with qemu is here.

Get Ready
  1. There are very many ways to do this.
    1. This is mainly taken/borrowed/stolen from here.
  2. First download the files
    1. iso
      1. You can get this from many different places
      2. Take your chances all of them may be hacked in some way.
    2. Boot Disk
  3. Create and setup the virtualbox(before you start it)
    1. Run the following command.
      1. you can run them individually or with && inbetw3een them to make it faster.

VBoxManage modifyvm "Catalina" --cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 00100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" "iMac11,3" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" "1.0" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" "Iloveapple" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/DeviceKey" "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" && VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal/Devices/smc/0/Config/GetKeyFromRealSMC" 1

      1. Who knows how many of these are really necessary
        1. Changes
          1. Set cpus to 2
            1. Any more is a waste. Some of the boot disks won't boot with 1
            2. VirtualBox can really only use 1
          2. Video memory to at least 100mb
          3. Ram to as much as 8 of 12.
            1. It will run and not freeze on 4 but you won't enjoy it.
          4. Chipset to ICH9
            1. Some old tutorials want PIIX3
              1. NO!!!!!!
          5. Enable I/O caching in Storage
        2. Optional set display
  2. Install the OS
  3. Cleanup
    1. Remove the install iso
    2. Set the display to what you want
    3. Run the command: VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGraphicsResolution" "1440x900"
  4. Issues
    1. Cannot get icloud to work.
    2. We recommend nextcloud
