What is Darling?

Darling is a macOS translation layer for Linux. It is designed to run macOS software directly without the need for a hardware emulator, making it fast and efficient.

In line with the spirit of Linux, Darling is free and open-source software. It is developed on GitHub and distributed under the GNU GPL license version 3, ensuring its accessibility for all.

Darling provides a complete Darwin environment, implementing Mach, dyld, launchd, and everything else you would expect. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of software.

The system is designed to be easy to use, handling most of the setup process for you. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy using your favorite software.

Darling aims to fully integrate apps into the Linux desktop experience. The goal is to make them look, feel, and behave just like native Linux apps.
