I think this is interesting and maybe someone else likes it too or even makes it better.

I compiled Mac-on-Linux on Wii Linux and made it work.
The biggest problem is a bug causing garbled text on some parts. It's also kinda sluggish, but still usable. And idk how to get audio to work ;p
Right now it's using Linux 2.6.32 from the neagix repo, with some changes regarding the default config and the patch found here (and a symlink from arch/powerpc to arch/ppc). The MoL repo can be found here.

So, here's the source code (and config) of Linux I used, and here's the SD image with mostly everything ready to go.
It's expecting a disk image with classic MacOS on /media/usb/iMac.HFV. You can change this on /etc/mol/molrc.macos.
Then, you login (it's a Whiite 1.10 image, so the user is root and the pass is whiite), startx, then startmol, and you're done!

Just so you know, idk why but this setup wouldn't connect to any network (even tho it would connect to the WiFi access point), so to install this I just copied the repo of a Debian 5 DVD to a USB drive and added that as a source :P

I think those are all the packages I installed to build MoL:
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake bison binutils build-essential bzip2 coreutils flex gcc libasound2-dev libpng-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxx86fdga-dev m4 make xorg xserver-xorg-dev zlib1g-dev

EDIT:
A youtuber and I had a problem after flashing the image were BootMii couldn't locate the required images. In that case, what I did was backup the files on the FAT32 partition, format it and copy the files back.

The wifi does work.
You just have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces and change wlan0 to wlan1 after using whiite-ez-wifi-config
