Partial The fork gives a working UI and VM-management shell, so the app layer is vibe-codeable. Keeping macOS, Linux and Windows 11 guests running reliably on Apple's Virtualization framework still depends on low-level systems and virtualization knowledge.
What it would actually take: Start from VirtualBuddy's Swift/SwiftUI codebase and Apple's Virtualization.framework. The hard parts are guest OS installation and boot quirks (especially Windows 11 requirements), disk and network device configuration, and Apple-silicon-specific restore images. This needs someone comfortable with macOS virtualization internals and debugging guest boot failures.
