Darling is a [[GPLv3]] licensed [[MacOS]] translation layer for Linux written in [[3. Reference/Software/Programming Languages/C|C]] and [[Objective C]]. - [Website](https://www.darlinghq.org/) - [GitHub](https://github.com/darlinghq/darling) - [Wikipedia](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darling_(software)>) > Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux # Notability It is essentially [[WINE]] for Mac OS. It only really supports command line applications for [[IA-32]]. I am not sure what use it has for me, perhaps cross compilation? But it does allow one to run a BSD environment on Linux, which is very interesting. See also [[ravynOS]] for an attempt to avoid needing such a compatibility layer. # Philosophy # OS Support Only supports [[Linux]], but does run under [[WSL]]. # Features > *Does it support GUI apps?* > Almost! This took us a lot of time and effort, but we finally have basic experimental support for running _simple_ graphical applications. # Tips # References
