Software Release GitHub - microlift/rosemary: Compatibility layer and high level emulator hybrid for running macOS applications across operating systems and architectures

https://github.com/microlift/rosemary

Running macOS GUI applications on Linux, anyone?

This has gained a lot of traction in the past two weeks or so as it only recently got open sourced, but it's currently being used as a method to run Roblox on Linux, instead of running the Android client.

There is HLE and native. If you're on AMD64, you can use native for AMD64 apps. If you're on an ARM desktop for some reason, you can use ARM apps natively.

What a great time to be alive. Most people get angry at AI, but when used right it could be really useful sometimes.
