Darling – macOS Translation Layer for Linux
The main attraction of Apple products is the certainty that, no matter what you do, they cannot be made to do what you would like. The consequence is that you feel no urge to spend time tinkering to get there, and instead adapt yourself to what it actually does. This reclaims all the time and attention that you would have spent on tinkering.<p>Since what Apple products do has proven adequate for a large number of people, and you are no less adaptable than they are, you know you can adapt, too.<p>Having once chosen to adapt to what Apple has chosen to offer, you find it easier each time, until it becomes wholly unconscious. Each time Apple takes away something you had used, you might momentarily balk at the "upgrade", but always acquiesce in the end.<p>[Edit] So, the appeal of Mac emulation is very limited, because it starts out with tinkering.
