These Links cover installing the MAC OS as a Virtual Machine using a Host Linux Distro or as a bare metal install on a PC using the Opencore system/software.

One of these projects should keep you occupied for quite some time. :-)

Awhile back, I figured out how to make MacOS virtual machines on both a Mac running Ubuntu, and a PC running Windows. They worked well, except for certain i-apps like iMessage. It was easier on the Mac running Linux because the hardware matches what MacOS X expects. But both worked. I just did these because I could, as I have access to the Mac OS directly.

I looked at the first video, and apparently with the recommended method, i-apps do run, including iMessage and even FaceTime!

Hi Mike.  Did you use your existing Mac OS license from on of your Mac computers, to do your install on a PC?  Or did you access the Mac OS, for free, like they do with the Hackintosh/ OpenCore system?

I don't know if you could call it a "license", but I was able to install it from the App Store on the MacOS side. I also bought a long time ago a Snow Leopard version of MacOS Server on a DVD disk. I'm not sure what the legality is of downloading the MacOS from the sources given in the YouTube video. They don't say anything about this in the two videos I watched.

That's the problem! There are too many tech projects and too little time! :) But next time I'm looking for one, I will work on this. Thanks for the links, Bill!
