    Darwin/macOS emulation layer for Linux

  • > but we have no equivalent to run OSX programs on Linux ...

    It is called darling: https://www.darlinghq.org/

    > Is nobody interested in implementing the OSX APIs on Linux?

    The reason for wine is that windows has a dominating market position and hence you often have to use some software that is windows-only. For OSX you might want to, but there is no such dire need.

  • UTM

    Virtual machines for iOS and macOS

  • There’s UTM, you’ll have to side load it though

    According to the EULA you may only use the SDK on Apple-branded computers. But you can use Linux to cross compile to Apple.
