Running Mac Apps in Linux

[Mauvve Knight]

I know it sounds strange but I'd like to know if I can run MacApps like GarageBand can run in Linux.

No

totally different format

windows apps/programs are also a No

Like Windows applications, you'd need a compatibility layer. For Windows applications, that is usually done with WINE. For MacOS applications, that's usually done with Darling.

I have no experience with Darling, but here's a URL to get you started:

Uuuh, I knew none of them! I will have a look to darling for sure, but oh boy that docker thingie is going to be my next thing to play with.

Okay, thanks for your answer. I think it'll be easier for me to run MacOS in a VM than using Darling or Docker.

Does apple provide macOS to the general public?
