Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux, not an emulator, it’s like wine but for MacOS apps.

    Oh come on, we could have lived in a world where the translation layers are called WINE and DINE!

    Cool. Do you know if this project will support PowerPC-era Mac OS X apps or if that makes any difference? There are a bunch of quirky and fun games that could avoid being lost to time if an “emulator” can run them.

    for those not familiar, this basically lets you run command line tools. anything with a GUI will not work.

      Everything starts somewhere, but I wonder what macOS cli’s are the target for this tool that doesn’t have a Linux equivalent

        CLI’s are likely not specifically the target. I suspect the CLI is just the “low hanging fruit” and core set of software that needs to be supported before you build up to a fully functional GUI apps.

    I’m a Windows user so this is even less relevant to me, but I can’t think of a single program or application I would even want that’s only on Mac.
