Great job for bringing up new apple's silicon chip , m4 a18 to linux . I hope the project keep alive and maintained , and if you can't mainline it , remmber many other project do out-of-tree version well maintained [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] .

And in that debian install rust unix coreutils as default

Native is fast , no extra layer , the problem is maintaining on every native platform your app available. And AI tooling can handle that efficiently today , not way back then.

The problem with xplat is they add extra layer on top of platform native.

- React native and similar, add extra js runtime engine.

- Flutter and Kotlin MP add extra skia graphics engine.

- Skiptools add extra swift runtime

- Cordova adn similar add extra browser engine

- Etc

It's safe, worked from previously apple owned darwin oss, opendarwin and mklinux, also apple provided mostly of base OS under OSS license/APSL.

Also if you wanna GUI puredarwin exist , based on X11 no macOS GUI subsystem:

- https://sourceforge.net/projects/puredarwin/files/2012/ older

- https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin/releases/tag/17.4 older just before new Nix

- https://www.puredarwin.org/#get-it newest using X11 and Nix packager

Maybe it will take off with AI

this is when still using FreeBSD/NextBSD kernel, that DE using ObjC and basic framebuffer no x11 / wayland. The current one using Darwin kernel but still CLI only and no graphics subsystem supported yet.

the option to use system webview , electron don't provided that
