Just stumbled upon it and thought it was coll enough to share. I didn't know about puredarwin as well, thanks for sharing! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago Oh, no worries! What you shared is super cool and I'm looking forward to hearing more about it :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 child) Isn't PureDarwin just a distribution to run anything from ports in, making it no different than any Unix flavor? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 week ago* I'm not entirely sure which is why I ask how it compares. My understanding is that it's basically what powers MacOS but made up of everything Apple makes open source boxed up together for you as a full system. For the gaps where Apple doesn't release source, homebrew code is written to piece it all together. Like, PureDarwin is aimed at making Darwin an accessible kernel whereas the OS linked above is more like ReactOS as OP said. I feel there'd be a lot of overlap in work though and would love to hear more about said overlaps permalink fedilink source parent
