Have you seen qubes os? [1] Obviously this would not work on OS X, but the concept is fascinating and definitely a different and unique approach at security and isolation.

Qubes is great but be careful... I tried giving a specific usb port to a windows vm to play games with a joystick and accidentally gave all of my USB inputs to it, effectively locking myself out of dom0. Oops.

That's the UNIX philosophy.

    Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself - and then a couple of more feet, just to be sure.

That looks really fun, thank you. I'm going to check this out.. maybe in a VM :D.

I really like these kinds of projects. NixOS and Fedora Silverblue are a couple others.

Qubes isn't designed to run in a VM, but it can.
