HFS support or the best way to use DMG mac native programs in MX Linux

#1 Post by kwijyboo »

Hi there,
which is, if any, the best way to use mac native programs in Mx Linux?

I saw Darlin, but I do need to run a GUI:

Any idea?

Mac OS/x is AFAIK based on OpenBSD, so I think the best plan would be to search for Linux (particularly Debian Buster) versions of the proggies you want to run. If you have an Intel CPU you may be able to install OS/X on your system and dual-boot or perhaps install it in a VirtualBox virtual machine. It's incompatible with AMD processors though.
