I really want this. I'm a hardcore linux guy(23+ years), but I have to run a windows vm for some instruments I have that wont run under wine. I hate windows.

I'm very similar. other than you've got about 5 more years on me :D If you're referring to musical instruments, then yeah, that's the only reason I even have a windows 7 VM around. Although increasingly I've been able to get the necessary code to run under wine.... But yes: > I hate windows. It sucks so much. Even just using it not that often with my instruments reminds me why I stopped using it. Is basically my mental state as well. (and, hence, swore off windows around 2000) I'm curious though, how would having a pure (aka linux) dev environment for macos help you in your situation?

Or maybe you were saying you want the Windows equivalent of this? The ability to make native windows apps from linux with ordinary tools? I don't know what it is, but I thought we've had that for some time now....

  That would also be good. But anything to reduce the amount I have to use windows.

    Once again, I agree, every moment I have to touch windows (let alone the more recent versions, like 10) is a moment of pain. But how does a system that lets you compile iOS applications natively from linux decrease your windows usage? Oh, or were you referring to the "clean room" osx-kvm-debian project, not the "ios build system on debian" project?

I really want this. I'm a hardcore windows guy(23+ years), but I have to run a linux vm for some programs I have that wont run under WSL. I hate linux. It sucks so much. Even just using it not that often with my programs reminds me why I stopped using it.

  You are hysterical!!! But to be fair, Linux sucks in an entirely different way to windows. Linux sucks in a good way. At least compare apples to apples (no pun intended)

  I.... think I get the jokes guys, but you do know that I have no idea what part you're referring to.... >.< And if you'd tell me... maybe I'd help.... :P :)
