Is there some really amazing Mac only software that would justify the effort ?

I genuiniely can't see why I would want to run Mac software on my Arch box.

I have used Linux since the 1990's and used the Mac back in 1988.

There are lots of amazing Mac only apps, but I'm not sure simply running them on Linux would be worth it. Without the cohesiveness of the UI as a whole you'd be losing a lot.

For me it’s mostly media apps - Fireworks CS 6, Reason 10, maybe some version of Garage Band. There’s alternatives but these apps hit a sweet spot that I could camp out on for decades if the tech treadmill didn’t like to make software an exercise in seeing shifting shapes in the clouds.

Glyphs is like the only game in town for font editing. I’m an Omnigraffle enjoyer too.

it's really not, I see my colleague using https://www.fontlab.com for professional font authoring. I'll ask them about glyphs, got me curious.

Most of the apps on macos are for fixing os behaviors that make no sense.
