Very neat. All I want for Christmas is Logic on Linux. But then you’d still need a Mac to legally download it from the App Store and DRM checks would probably only work on Macs
There’s always Reaper.

Agh that's one of my biggest Linux regrets! Logic Pro is probably my favorite DAW, it feels so smooth to use, and that's likely connected to me using GarageBand extensively when I was a child. (I still remember "composing" multiple memorial songs in honor of Steve Jobs, as weird as that sounds!) The strategy Apple has figured out with GarageBand pre-installed (or at least very low friction to install) seems really re…
Reaper is available on Linux.

#63Curious if this finally makes Sketch or Affinity Photo usable on my Linux box. Apple Silicon VM performance is usually the bottleneck.

#64Cool that it exists, but I honestly don't even know which mac exclusive program I would want to install.
If its possible to compile & and sign iOS or MacOS apps that would be VERY useful in CI environments, but yeah hard to think of other killer command-line apps that only run on MacOS.
If they had good GUI support then some more things open up but nothing really essential. Garage Band has no equal in terms of ease of use, if you are into that sort of thing.

#65Is there some really amazing Mac only software that would justify the effort ? I genuiniely can't see why I would want to run Mac software on my Arch box. I have used Linux since the 1990's and used the Mac back in 1988.
Glyphs is like the only game in town for font editing. I’m an Omnigraffle enjoyer too.

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sadly a lot of VSTs are Windows and Mac only too due to shitty DRM. :-(
True. On the other hand, there are top quality developers like u-he Urs Heckmann that provide native linux support.
AudioThing, TAL and Modartt have Linux versions as well. Korneff Audio is moving in that direction, but not everything is ported over yet.

WINE doesn’t work well with DAWs. Most DAWs barely work on the platforms they support. I can’t see Linux as being a viable market since most Linux users except software to generally be free. Vs OSX which lets you enter a credit card number and buy stuff right from the built in store. If I recall Ubuntu might of once attempted paid applications on its built in store and it didn’t really work. Logic is probably made at…
You an ask ai to port it to linux no?
Re: Run macOS Software on Linux
#68Mac OS X binaries are the most susceptible to bit rot of any major OS. There's constant platform churn, all of it closed source, and there's nowhere near the community that exists around emulating older Windows. You can reliably run DOS, Win, Linux applications of almost any vintage with the right translation layer / emulator, but there's a black hole of MacOS apps circa 2002-2012 that just no longer runs on anything…
It runs on Rosetta w/ a few fixes.

You wouldn’t want to run it without instruments and effects I’d imagine.
