What a shame that you really can't do this using an iPhone. Unless things have changed recently the closest you can come to this is using iSH to run some linux binaries (x86_32), but it's quite limited last I checked.

UTM runs virtual machines on iOS and has been around a while: https://getutm.app

Issue is that Apple doesn’t allow apps to run JIT so if you want the JIT version of UTM, you need to sideload or Jailbreak. The non-JIT version is on the App Store.

    Are there any OSes that have usable performance (<1min to boot) on iOS without JIT? I tried a few and they were impractically slow.

    What’s the performance penalty for the non JIT version?

      Reviews on the App Store say very slow and you can’t move windows without waiting minutes. A Linux distro that’s CLI only seems to work.
