Cool. What kind of GUI apps work ? The FAQ doesn't say much except basic.

Could we use Mac compatible apps in place of windows ones if Linux isn't available? Games? Productivity?

From their GitHub page[0]: "Please note that most GUI applications will not run at the moment."

I admit that I haven't personally used Darling but it would be rather pointless if it only worked for commander line apps. All command line apps I use on MacOs X are from homebrew and are available in Linux so for me it only makes sense for GUI apps. Also, I never really missed a MacOs X specific app when I use Linux, most apps I use are multi platform anyway, and the rare one that is not, it usually has a decent equivalent for Linux.
