Darling — macOS translation layer for Linux

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

    I don’t really understand the appeal of this. What command line software is there on MacOS that there isn’t an adequate equivalent to on Linux?

      Its a first step. And then some day complex software can run, even though I have the feeling that has all shady DRM stuff inside

    For software that’s currently available on both Windows and MacOS, how does the performance of the Windows version under Wine compare to the MacOS version under Darling?

      I imagine if Darling gets as well supported it would be better. But it will not be optimized as much, even though the core architecture may be way more similar

    Anyone have experience with it? I’m trying to think of something that is MacOS only that I care about to test it with, but coming up empty.

      I mean they have lots of MS Apps, Adobe stuff, some video editors and all that, maybe MS apps on macOS are less hard to run

    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.
