    Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?

    There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux

    McDonalds discontinued the Super Size option in 2004 after a falsified documentary painted them in a bad light in the public eye.

    …what? Oh, are we not replying with unrelated statements? I thought that’s what we were doing since he was asking about Windows, and you replied about Linux.

      Did you miss the next line?

      In theory you could run that in WSL.

      Do you know what WSL is?

      … And he said it might work on wsl, which is Linux on windows translation layer, including graphics support.

      A lot of Linux tooling has opened up to windows users because of it, which would include darling, to run mac apps, via wsl, on windows.

        She, but yeah. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it is technically a way to run a small subset of macos software on windows without a VM, just using multiple compatibility layers instead

      WSL is the windows subsystem for Linux. It lets you run Ubuntu terminal in Windows. So it would ultimately be running on windows. Though that feels like it would be more complex than running a macOS VM.
