feat: Add experimental config.plist enhancement and Debian 13 review
This commit builds upon the previous cross-platform USB writer implementation
by adding an experimental feature to auto-enhance the OpenCore `config.plist`
and reviewing Debian 13 compatibility for dependencies.
Key new features and changes in this iteration:
1. **Experimental `config.plist` Auto-Enhancement:**
* Introduced `linux_hardware_info.py` to gather CPU details and PCI device
information (GPU, Audio, Ethernet) on Linux systems.
* Created `plist_modifier.py` with logic to:
* Load an existing `config.plist`.
* Apply targeted modifications based on detected Linux host hardware:
* Inject Intel iGPU `DeviceProperties` (AAPL,ig-platform-id, device-id).
* Set audio `layout-id` for common audio controllers.
* Ensure relevant Ethernet kexts are enabled.
* Implement specific boot-arg adjustments for NVIDIA GTX 970 based on the
target macOS version and presence of an iGPU (e.g., `nvda_drv=1` for
High Sierra, `nv_disable=1` for newer macOS if iGPU is primary).
* Create a backup (`config.plist.backup`) before modifying the plist.
* Integrated this feature into `main_app.py` with a UI checkbox (default off)
to enable it during the USB writing process (currently, hardware detection
for enhancement is Linux-only).
* The USB writer modules (`usb_writer_linux.py`, `usb_writer_macos.py`) now
conditionally call the plist enhancement logic.
2. **Debian 13 "Trixie" Compatibility Review:**
* Reviewed dependencies for Linux USB writing (`qemu-img`, `parted`, `kpartx`,
`rsync`, `mkfs.vfat`, `mkfs.hfsplus`, `apfs-fuse`, etc.) for expected
availability on Debian 13.
* Updated `README.md` with more specific guidance for Debian users on
installing `hfsprogs` and `apfs-fuse` (including typical build
dependencies for compiling `apfs-fuse` from source).
3. **Documentation Updates (`README.md`):**
* Updated to version 0.8.1 (Alpha).
* Added details about the new experimental `config.plist` enhancement feature,
its current limitations (Linux-only hardware detection), and user guidance.
* Incorporated notes from the Debian 13 compatibility review.
4. **Consolidated Previous Work:**
* This submission includes all prior work from this session, such as the
cross-platform USB writer shells (Linux, macOS, Windows PoC), UI/UX
enhancements (status bar, progress bar), improved Docker interaction
(explicit `docker pull`), and privilege checks.
The application now offers a more advanced, albeit experimental, capability to
tailor the OpenCore configuration, alongside its core functionality of
automating Docker-OSX VM setup and bootable USB creation.
