    [$] Darling: macOS compatibility for Linux
    There is an increasingly active development effort, known as Darling, that is aiming to provide a translation layer for macOS software on Linux; it is inspired in part by Wine. While Darling isn't nearly as mature as Wine, contributors are continuing to build out capabilities that could make the project more useful to a wider group of users in the future.

    Subscribers can read on for a look at Darling from this week's edition.

    Collabora: Moving the Linux desktop to another reality
    The Collabora blog announces
    some ongoing work to integrate Linux desktop environments with head-mounted
    displays. "In contrast to these approaches xrdesktop aims to integrate into existing Linux desktop environments, eliminating the necessity of running a dedicated compositor for only VR and thus making it usable in current setups. For our initial release, we focused on integration in the most popular Linux desktops, GNOME and KDE, but xrdesktop is designed to be integrated into any desktop. This can be done with Compiz-like plugins as for KWin or patches on the compositor in the case of GNOME Shell.

    This integration of xrdesktop into the window managers enables mirroring existing windows into XR and to synthesize desktop input through XR actions    ."
