• Help installing wine 7.0 on mac

  Not sure what your goals are with wine, but if it just to play some games, let me suggest that you take a look at portingkit, which does a lot of the wine heavy lifting for you. Maybe that'll meet your needs. https://portingkit.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• 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: 12 months 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

• 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: almost 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: about 2 years ago
