Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux, not an emulator, it's like wine but for MacOS apps.

Oh come on, we could have lived in a world where the translation layers are called WINE and DINE!

How petty would it be to make a fork of it just to rename it to DINE?

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 26 points 10 months ago

The right kind of petty.

[-] shrugal@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago

It's the only logical choice!

You'd likely need to write someone complimentary software called KNIFE.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
