# Acelogic/Snapintosh > Experimental EL2 hypervisor and toolchain that boots macOS 27 on an ASUS Zenbook A16 (Snapdragon X2 Elite), with an Adreno Metal/IOGPU driver stack. Requires the exact laptop model and a Mac host over USB-C. - Magnitude: 6.6 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 242 total · +110 stars measured 2026-10-22, 06:58–09:57 UTC, ≈ 173 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · Created: 2026-10-22 · Last push: 2026-10-22 - GitHub: https://github.com/Acelogic/Snapintosh · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Acelogic/Snapintosh ## Useful for - Boot macOS on a Snapdragon X2 Elite laptop using q1n1 and a Mac host over USB-C - Compile Apple AIR shaders to Mesa ir3 for the Adreno GPU with air2ir3 - Build and run the monitor's native test suites via tools/cycle.py ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 06:58–09:57: 132 → 242 stars (+110). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +173 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 0 days old and already has 242 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #99. - About 47 forks a day — people are taking the code. - Recent forks include notable developers: @sqlsec (2,157 followers), @So1jon (354 followers). ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 13 - Issues and pull requests: 7 - Watchers: 4 - Average over the last week: 173 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 39 ## Stars per day, last 1 day (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-22 … 2026-10-22: 110 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #99 ## Similar by description 1. **mikroverk/esp32sim** — 4.3 · Early signal · Hardware, IoT & robotics · Rust · +11 stars measured 2026-10-22, 00:37–09:58 UTC, ≈ 33 by evening An ESP32 emulator in Rust with instruction-level emulation of Xtensa (ESP32, S3) and RISC-V (C3, C6): boots the real ROM, bootloader and unmodified firmware locally or in the browser via WebAssembly. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/mikroverk/esp32sim.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
