    Kinda. I hadn’t actually heard of ravynOS, so thanks for mentioning it. I’ll be interested to try it out.

    The main difference, however, is the kernel. ravynOS is based on FreeBSD with Mach and Cocoa added on top, which is like creating Mac OS X from first principles. PureDarwin, meanwhile, is based on the already-developed Darwin kernel used by macOS, but with the proprietary bits hacked off and replaced with FOSS tools from other projects (as far as I know).

      That sounds interesting, thanks for clearing up the differences, both definitely very promising
