Could you build this?
No Running a proprietary macOS binary (Roblox client) on Linux via Darling involves low-level Darwin emulation, Mach kernel API compatibility, proprietary anti-cheat (Hyperion) workarounds, and graphic translation layers (Metal/MoltenVK/Vulkan). This demands deep reverse engineering and low-level OS internals knowledge far outside vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The stack relies on Darling (Mach-O translation layer, Darwin kernel emulation in Linux), MoltenVK/Wine/Vulkan translation, and patching dynamic libraries. The core roadblock is Roblox's anti-cheat (Byfron/Hyperion) alongside missing Cocoa/Metal APIs in Darling. Building this requires deep systems programming, macOS/Mach kernel reverse engineering, and anti-cheat bypass expertise.
