Home
This is the home page of the Wiki. It is not to be confused with the WacOS Home directory.
General description of WacOS:
A Linux distribution that mimics MacOS (modern and classic) iOS, and other Apple operating systems, but is open, customizable, and free to use on non-apple hardware.
WacOS is an open source replacement project for all versions of MacOS, iOS, iPhoneOS, TvOS, WatchOS, and all Apple software.
This Wiki is a glossary of Apple terms, alongside info on how it aligns with WacOS and how well it is supported/its re-development history.
Currently, a lot of articles are based of their Wikipedia counter-parts, being mirrored here, and reformatted in markdown with special details. A lot of articles here need lots of work, it is still good to have them all in one place.
