Linux has a Windows emulator, but no OS-X emulator (?)

Isn't called canary? Or is that something else?
Also wine is not an emulator

freetards could have had a macos emulator if they didn't abandon gnustep in favor of gtk and qt

ARM emulation on x86 is still in its baby steps. The only reason it's in any decent shape is because of Android.

ARM on Windows barely works what makes you think Linux would work better.

Can't even set the frame. Smh.

Yep what can you do on a macos that you cant do on windows

Huh? Always been posible to emulate

there's a "wine" for mac os applications, though it's largely a proof of concept last i checked
https://www.darlinghq.org/

key difference is that there's windows programs people want to run.
>>
>>109914607
whats on mac worth emulating aside from the terminator dvd menu zarvox voice?

What would be the point? Ideally everything would run natively, so WINE itself is a compromise. Name one usecase OSX covers that an improved WINE theoretically couldn't. And would that usecase be worth maintaining an entire secondary compatibility layer?
>>
>>109914607
>no OS-X emulator
We tend to do things based on utility on Linux.
If it was needed, someone would do it.
>>
all the best programs on osx are ports of linux programs ;)

there's nothing osx has that would really make someone spend the amount of time and effort that wine commands to make an equivalent

>all these people who think op means vm's
lmao

Linux (itself) is OS-X emulation. (Poors) will never understand this.
>>
>>109915175
most freetards use wine to run windows games, since there are no exclusive games on macos there is no point
>>
>>109914607
Is anyone interested in running any OS X programs other than those who get that shit from work or the fanboys who have already been inducted into the cult and wouldn't touch a Linux PC in the first place?
>>
>>109915040
can i crack logic pro and run it on a shitty laptop running virtualized macos from 2011 i just want to make music
>>
>>109915569
Exactly. It's crazy though since for over a decade the biggest argument against Linux was "no games". Now the goalpost has moved onto "no Photoshop"/specialized productivity software which WINE will eventually encapsulate too.

If only freetards could understand what makes the Adobe suite so great instead of tackling individual applications. But this is another usecase where creating an OSX compatibility layer would have no benefit over simply improving WINE.

>>109915695
The modern adobe creative cloud sucks ass
CS6 is enough for me
