    There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux called Darling. In theory you could run that in WSL. The only downside is it is in very early development and not really at all usable

      Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows?

      There is a translation layer for running MacOS software on Linux

      McDonalds discontinued the Super Size option in 2004 after a falsified documentary painted them in a bad light in the public eye.

      …what? Oh, are we not replying with unrelated statements? I thought that’s what we were doing since he was asking about Windows, and you replied about Linux.

        … And he said it might work on wsl, which is Linux on windows translation layer, including graphics support.

        A lot of Linux tooling has opened up to windows users because of it, which would include darling, to run mac apps, via wsl, on windows.

        WSL is the windows subsystem for Linux. It lets you run Ubuntu terminal in Windows. So it would ultimately be running on windows. Though that feels like it would be more complex than running a macOS VM.

    Don’t do it brother. Just cut your losses and try to find an alternative. There is no end to the suffering should you go down the path of running apple software on non apple hardware.

    No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There’s no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.

        Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven’t tried, but I heard it’s pretty well working nowadays… At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh

          Maybe I’ll go and pick their brains. I have had numerous failures but maybe I need to be using something other than VMware or something.

          I just know I have tried suggestions from lots of reddit threads and they all failed to make a successful boot to even begin to install.
