Hackintosh: OpenCore EFI for HP Pavilion Aero 13 Laptop
Every Christmas break I always hope I'll have the emotional energy to dig back into https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin#readme and see if I can get it to boot, even on VirtualBox, let alone some hackintosh friendly hardware like OP did
I am super, super cognizant that the devil's in the proverbial details, but they sure do seem to publish a lot of macOS into the open <https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...> so my interest is to map out the parts that are missing
I'm also aware that Darling exists (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38423469 ) but if it's anything like Wine -- no, thank you. The only reason Wine (and their CrossOver friends) are required to exist is because there's no suitable open source release of Windows, so emulating the bugs is glucose cheaper. I had high hopes for ReactOS when I was in college, but I think they're just pushing that rock uphill (although I am super glad the project exists)
Having said all of that, don't overlook that even if I snapped my fingers and had a PureDarwin built 14.3 .iso this very second, the supply chain for x86_64 applications for any such OS is likely going the way of the dodo, since it won't be in a vendor's best interest to dedicate resources to building releases for what they assume is a dead platform

PureDarwin
Neat project. Only two commits for 2022 though: https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin/commits/main
- As despicable as it is, can we talk about how well North Korea did at turning Fedora Linux in to an exact OS X rip off? If Apple could’ve this would’ve been sued in to oblivion

Project Richland : Announcement
Either a parody, or a new Linux distribution project like PureDarwin, I guess.

Anyone know how the PureDarwin Nano image was built?

Tim Cook on Why It's Time to Fight the "Data-Industrial Complex"
However, you're again mistaken about Apple's own open source code. Most of their open source code is in relation to Unix/BSD stuff they've used in their operating systems, such as the Mach kernel and some (low-level, from my understanding) parts of FreeBSD. Over the years, they've slowly been adding their own proprietary code, and you'll find that even their open source macOS "base", Darwin, is far from complete (go have a look at the PureDarwin project to see more or less what can be made from the macOS code Apple has made publicly available).

MacOS like WINE
There is actually a Wine-like transplier called Darling. The problem is that development is very slow because there is not as much need for MacOS programs on Linux, and there is a huge shortage of volunteers and manpower. And it has been rendered almost obsolete because Apple moved to ARM. Additionally 90% of Apple's API is closed source despite Apple claiming to champion open source.

RavynOS Finesse of macOS. Freedom of FreeBSD
Unfortunately not. Darling [0] is still at the point that it can only run command line applications. Only the most basic GUI applications are supported. That's still a massive accomplishment that I don't want to diminish, but it's nowhere near the point that WINE was at even quite a long time ago.

Darling: Run macOS Software on Linux
xcodebuild CLI to compile iOS apps without a Mac. Seems possible in theory, although there's an ongoing issue some are seeing apparently: https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/488

- The first conformant M1 GPU driver

Building a Custom Mach-O Memory Loader for macOS
I wonder if there's opportunity for overlap with darling (https://www.darlinghq.org/) here, somewhat like using WINE on top of actual Windows.

Darling: The Wine of MacOS!
Hi guys, just wanted to make a quick shoutout to Darling since not a lot people seem to know about it, which is a compatibility layer like Wine for Linux, but it allows for MacOS applications instead of Windows apps to be able to run on Linux!
