Get started with MacOS VM

Hello guys, I'm here with another blog for you regarding first things to do in MacOS VM. If you own a Macbook or iMac then you must be knowing it but if it is your first time and you don't own a Macintosh then you will need to know what to do first.
Create an Apple id
This is the first thing that you need to have. It will be the key to your App store, iTunes derivatives, Siri, iCloud, Apple store etc. To do this you open the Internet accounts located in the settings.
select internet accounts option and then icloud option.
Create your apple id here. In some cases this may not work.Then you need to go to the web and create an account from there.Otherwise borrow an apple device from some guy and create yours. I'll deal here with the web option

For that go to apple.com and create your id from there and log in into your VM. Remember you will get an apple id on your e-mail only not the icloud one.

Fixing VM resolution.
Many times our MacOS window doesnt adjust properly, so in that case we need to fix the resolution.Follow the following steps in order to do that.
Open cmd and run these commands:
1.cd "C:Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
2.VBoxManage setextradata "Catalina" "VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode" X

Be sure not to enter X directly in the command, replace it with a number.
1 gives you a resolution of 800×600
2 gives you a resolution of 1024×768
3 gives you a resolution of 1280×1024
4 gives you a resolution of 1440×900
5 gives you a resolution of 1920×1200

Type the command as per your requirement.

How to install Arch Linux on a UEFI system.

  S o, I think You've understood what I'm trying to convey here. I started with arch Linux coz I found very few guides on the web which are simple and updated. So let's start.   Here is what you'll need - Arch Linux iso   Balena etcher - Depending on your current OS.  A fast internet connection as net install method is used here. Patience Warning - This is not as easy as other distros such as Debian and fedora. We'll work with the command line here. Do it at your own risk. 1.   Get the ISO and create a bootable media for UEFI(GPT partitioned. Get the iso and create your install media. I hope you know how to.( If you don't, then forget arch. It's probably not for you.) After this, we got to boot into the USB. 2.  Installation Now let's boot into it. Make sure secure boot is disabled and you're booting in UEFI. Select Arch Linux X86_64 when asked. This guide is not focusing on multiboot but all you need to do is not to meddle with windows partition....
