MacOS Apps on Linux? Pushing Darling GUI Limits!

[@shApYT]

Mac apps on Linux on windows (in a VM on linux) The layers

[@ThatYahoo]

Even better, WSL

[@moussaadem7933]

​@@ThatYahoothat's already what he meant when he said "on Linux on windows"

[@moussaadem7933]

All ran through the terminal emulator of vscode, an electron app. So yeah the terminal emulator is running whitin a browser for some reason

[@vaisakh_km]

Logged in to to a remote windows image on azure though phone webbrowser, that has a linux vm which has mac app :)

[@claymorwan]

We did it, MacOS on Linux on Windows, the OS sandwich

[@Beryesa.]

Linux and Vulkan, the ultimate platform, Soon™

[@RexTorres]

Man, if I can just run xcodebuild in the terminal to build iOS apps... I'd be able to create Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform apps without needing a Mac.

[@Linuslkm]

my first tought upon seeing this

[@Z4KIUS]

you'll still need a mac to sign and publish them, but maybe rental services would be enough for that

[@Pranav-x8q]

Darling can run the xcode compilation toolchain cli really good

[@Z4KIUS]

@@Pranav-x8q compilation sure, but signing requires an apple chip for a while now

[@MastermindAtWork]

Can't wait for it to run Final Cut Pro in the future.

[@michaell.8748]

This is so cool! I've known this project and I'm happy that it's improving!

[@betaplay2914]

Looking forward to see this project grow and mature and i sure hope that apple doesn't try to meddle with it.

[@gabrielslab]

Dude your videos are the exact type of videos I enjoy watching! Keep making these cool experiments!

[@joe-skeen]

The only reason I can think of for actually don't this is running XCode on Linux or Windows to not require having a Mac to build iPhone apps. Or being able to run the iPad simulator.

[@Wkaelx]

I'm surprise this didn't existed before, since MacOS is kinda of BSD.

[@Lestibournes]

Based?

[@KingKrouch]

Would be crazy if one day, you had better compatibility for older Mac OS software (that no longer runs on new systems) on Linux installed on a Macbook than actually running on current Mac OS X.

[@sharkuel]

What OS do you run on your system? AgileDevArt: Yes.

[@stuaxo]

This is great. I wonder if it would be worth finding sets of tutorials, e.g. Objective C etc and seeing how far they can be built.

[@2xsaiko]

Getting OpenGL to work is much more straight forward than Cocoa apps, considering you don't need to reimplement a massive closed source GUI toolkit. Still very impressive though considering all the background stuff (Mach-O loader, libsystem, ...) I wonder how much GNUstep code this uses.

[@NUDELMOB]

Ok, now try a MacOS WINE binary, running a windows app on darling on WSL 😂

[@raughboy188]

Darling is great solution and still incomplete but it will bring many mac apps on linux. I built it from source and that was 4.5 hrs of waiting it will take less time if you have beefy computer.

[@spaghettiking653]

What are the actual problems with why the calculator doesnt work? Some sort of missing functiojn i suppose?

[@agiledevart]

From Darling documentation: "GUI applications will not work in Darling at this point in time, with very few exceptions... only simple "Hello World" type GUIs will work."

[@user-lx2ep9hd4k]

Lol you have same code for the cube rendering as me and you wrote it at the same day as me. I did very similar code to render build timelapses from Minecraft historical world data. But the code to render the cubes is literally same

[@ridwanhafidh9403]

can you build ios app on darling

[@petabyt]

Im waiting for them to release it for Ubuntu 24...

[@liamh2o01230123]

Your better building from source tbh

[@techzone2009]

Xcode should be available for linux 😢

[@ahmetsarkis6313]

I've been shouting this for a long time. Instead of making 20-30 different Linux variants or distributions, they should release 3-5 well-functioning Linux versions. These Linux distributions should be able to run macOS applications or run PC programs like Crossover. I don’t understand why people feel the need to create their own Linux variations for personal preferences. If the goal is to prevent monopolization, then macOS and Windows applications should work unconditionally on every machine, regardless of its processor or motherboard.

[@coatlessali]

Most of those "versions" are just one of the 3-5 major distros with a different desktop out of the box. Yes, technically there are thousands of Linux distributions, but the majority of them are either barely used, skins of larger distributions and are generally compatible with instructions/applications for that distribution, or for an incredibly niche use case. In practice, there are already only a handful of well functioning distributions. Asking people to stop forking Ubuntu and changing the desktop environment isn't going to magically result in all of that effort going into upstream. Frankly, the fact that something like CrossOver exists is bonkers, and it required decades of collective effort work to reimplement the various Windows APIs. Given that MacOS runs on even less hardware, uses an incredibly proprietary graphics API for most applications, and is more locked down, it's really no wonder that you can't "just" run MacOS apps on Linux.

[@circuit10]

Because there is no single central “they”, people just make distros if they feel like it and no one can or should stop them

[@lobogato100]

Then do it yourself if you are so interested in that, that is the whole point.

[@UbuntuPersonNoMint]

I've always felt the same but these idiots can't see it. What is sad is people claim the linux model Is better because there's more hands on deck working on it and while it's a little true all those hands are working numerous projects and distros that are just different variants of the same thing instead of all working on one thing that will wipe the floor with windows and mac

[@matt92hun]

This is what computing will look like in 1991.

[@felipefmavelar]

hope one day it become good enough to play league

[@Ich-cq9uu]

There is so much wrong. Mc on Linux by an expert, it hurts

[@michaell.8748]

there's absolutely nothing wrong

[@Ich-cq9uu]

@michaell.8748 Using Mc 😆
