I was wondering if anyone has been able to use chroot on OSX to run another OS (ubuntu, centos). I know that they are very different, but almost everything I want to use this for wouldn't care about anything at the level of the kernel, so was hoping there would be a way to do this without using a VM.
Based off my google searches, I see this question is asked, but no real answer other than "try a VM". Would really like to do this without a VM though.
I am sad that this 'answer' does not actually give an answer to the question. Assuming I dont care that nothing will work, I would still like to know the steps I would need to take to load e.g. my Ubuntu ISO in a chroot on macOS. Been Google'ing for quite some time and can't find a clear answer. – user5359531 – 2018-06-14T03:58:02.033
I don't understand what you expect to gain from "loading in a chroot" given that nothing will work. ("Nothing" is absolute: it's not just that you can't run apps; you also can't run any commands or even shells. The chroot tool has exactly two choices: fail and undo, or leave you stare at a black window with no actions possible.) So what's the goal? – user1686 – 2018-06-14T04:14:37.133
