CutefishOS Reborn as Cutefish, Runs Mac Apps on Linux

Original: 🐧 CutefishOS Is Reborn as Cutefish, Demonstrates Running Mac Apps on Linux ｢ The compatibility technology, called Reef,

CutefishOS has been revived under the name Cutefish, and the team has shown off Reef, a compatibility layer that reimplements macOS programming interfaces so unmodified Mac applications can run on Linux. The developers say Reef does not emulate a processor, distinguishing it from virtual machine or emulator approaches and drawing comparisons with efforts like Wine.

Why now: A new compatibility layer for macOS apps on Linux is a notable technical development that has revived interest in the once-dormant CutefishOS project.
