Could you build this?

No Making a macOS League client run on Linux requires deep low-level work on Darling's macOS translation layer, including syscall, Mach, and runtime emulation, which vibe coding can't reliably produce.

What it would actually take: This needs systems engineers experienced with the Darling/Wine internals, macOS ABI and frameworks, and reverse engineering of the client's runtime behavior. It is a long-running research-style compatibility project rather than an app build.
