Looks like an incredible project, but if GUI is not working, what is the current use case for it? Command line apps are usually open source and can be compiled in either system. What are people using this for in day to day work?
- stuaxo 5y agoGUI will come eventually. Some Dev commandline tools and compilers are starting to work, so these kind of environments will probably come first which will provide better performance than running under virtual machines.

Then it's not useful as the only thing interesting on macOs are the GUI applications. All the tools I used on macOs for the command line where already available on Linux.
- seanw444 5y agoAs blunt as that is, I have to say I agree and thought the same thing reading through their page. I'm sure it's been quite a feat to get this far, but until GUI is supported well, I can't think of a single thing I'd ever personally use it for.
- olyjohn 5y agoYou gotta start somewhere.
- pxmpxm 5y agoSounds like an inverse of the homebrew project...

- dvirsky 5y agoWhat are some command line tools that aren't available natively on Linux? I'm not trying to dismiss or be negative, just really curious.
- kristofferR 5y ago"xcrun safari-web-extension-converter" is one, for example.
- mastazi 5y agoElsewhere in this thread, iOS CI/tests have been mentioned.
- waffle_maniac 5y agoHow about GPU stuff? OpenGL?
- aasasd 5y ago> GUI will come eventually You mean like GNUStep?
