I know that - & I've looked at eg Elementary OS which more-or-less looks
like an exact clone of macOS. I even installed it on an iMac5,1 for my
brothers grandchild. As far as could tell, that iMac would ever be able
to run macOS 10.8 (hacked) and as it should run as a normal computer it
had to be switched to Linux as 10.7 & 10.8 are hoplessly outdated
regarding browsers.

I've been following him & his staff on-and-off for years.
His vidoes on eg selfbuilt NAS systems are really good.
And that 4-part series where he installed a water-cooled Hackintosh in
an original cMacPro case is hilarious [rolf]
