Even if this pans out which would be pretty interesting I guess, what’s even the point? I’m assuming you wouldn’t be able to acess the App Store and I honestly doing know that many programs that run on macOS and not Linux that would be useful in Linux that aren’t in the App Store.
I develop on a MBP and have exactly 0 App Store apps.
I like the environment and the hardware but I’m not stuck with “Apple”
That’s like my whole point. Any apps not on the App Store are much more likely to have a native Linux version already or be specific to macOS in a way that wouldn’t be useful on Linux so why would I care about macOS program support? I’d only want it for something like logic for example or I’d just use all Linux packaged stuff.
Did you know that MacOS isn’t a Linux distribution?
Are you aware this is also not a Linux distribution?
