How the fuck can I install an Apple app onto my Linux desktop?
https://www.endlesspaper.app/exhibit.html
Is there an apple emulator, or since its Unix, can it werk with a little twerking?

Why would you want to install trash on your linux?

I use both Linux and Windows.
I have one distro which I prefer, and I have it installed on my desktop, a laptop, and a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB. I have another distro installed on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ I am running as a PiHole. I don't particularly like the distro (Raspian) but with some chicken wire and duct tape it runs.
I appreciate the gesture, but I have no use for any Apple MacBook products at this time.
Thank you for your input though.

You can use developer tools like xtool to run IOS apps in Linux. There is an early stage WINE type program for this but it's not able to run full apps.

LinToddler: BTFO!

To SERIOUSLY answer your question: You buy an Apple product for Apple-only shit. Or you beg the developer to make a tar ball or some form of Linux binary.

The former is more likely than the latter. Take, for example, Scrivener: Windows/Mac only. HAD a Linux version in the early version "era" (1.0-1.5, IIRC), dropped it and basically tells Linux users to kick rocks and/or to use the older version.

You either find an Endless Paper clone on Linux, or do without.

I'm not saying that to be mean, that's just the reality.

>>108706071
I mean you can attempt to use xTool but in my not so humble opinion, you basically thumb your nose at Apple-only Developers and find something "better." If they can't be assed to provide their product outside the Apple ecosystem, it's really not worth it.

You can grab a neo or a mac mini for cheap OP

>>108705104
Just tell Claude Code to reproduce the app.

>xtool to run IOS apps
only open source apps

>>108705104
Surely there are plenty of equivalents on linux?

>cures your distrohopping

If you buy apple hardware and get accustomed to a piece of software only available there you're basically fucked. You start buying an iPhone or a macbook and end up getting the whole fucking family. It is effectively the tightest ecosystem I've seen in every sense of the word. It works pretty good but it locks you in aggressively.

It's funny how it's easier to run Windows software on Linux than MacOS programs despite both being UNIX

Yeah it's always weird how they mostly hop between various flavors of pre-configured Debian, as if they don't know you can change your DE.
