• Anon uses a thinkpad

  Not really possible (yet). Darling tries to do this, but so far it can mainly just run some command-line Darwin software (the open source part of Apple's OSes). Some simple GUI apps too, but you won't be running something like Xcode on Linux any time soon. Source: about 1 year ago

• SheepShaver: macOS run-time environment for BeOS and Linux

  I really look forward to reliable (modern) macOS emulation, a la wine. I miss some of my wee little Mac utilities / games now that I’m in Linux full-time. I’m rooting for the guys working on stuff like Darling[0], but it looks like they still have a long road ahead. [0] https://darlinghq.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Check mate, Windows users. Plus side loading on Windows 11 is a big pain

  In addition to wine, there's also mono and darling ... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why linux cant run mac os apps natively?

  Because they are different kernels, Closest thing is Darling (compatibility layer like Wine) but it's still WIP (Work In Progress). Source: about 2 years ago

• airyxOS is a macOS clone, built on FreeBSD. (Beta ISO available.)

  That already exists! In fact, that’s what they’re using in the project: https://darlinghq.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Where can I find a primer on how computers boot?

  The following is a pretty decent historical page about the pre-(U)EFI MBR (Master Boot Record) boot process: https://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/STDMBR.htm Note that EFI/UEFI -- occurred much later in time than MBR... Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record You might also wish to check out some emulators, most notably Bochs (https://bochs.sourceforge.io/) and QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/)... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Can anyone recommend some good free tools for programming, debugging, and virtualization on Ubuntu?

  With both of those you can make some really nice DOS programs. Which you can then run in bochs (not virtualized, but an emulator. Close enough :) ). Source: over 1 year ago

• Should I disable any modules for security reasons?

  Are you sure that module isn't just called bochs? It is a DRM driver for a graphics device provided by the Bochs emulator. Source: over 2 years ago

• is vmware 16 workstation player real? (vmware.com)

  There are other projects out there that can do that kind of emulation though. You might look into QEMU and Bochs. Https://bochs.sourceforge.io/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Where can I start with os development?

  However, most of these are rather old since they mention floppy drives and the legacy BIOS. If your machine is very recent, it's possible the code won't even work. Ou can still use Bochs, qemu, or VirtualBox to run it, if you insist. Source: over 2 years ago
