Test Build

The PD-17.4 Test Build is a minimal system, unlike previous versions like PureDarwin Xmas with a graphical interface. It’s distributed as a virtual machine disk (VMDK) and runs via software like QEMU.

Due to the lack of proprietary macOS components, the community must develop alternatives, leaving elements like network drivers and hardware support incomplete. This build is intended for developers and open-source enthusiasts to explore Darwin development outside of macOS.

Based on Darwin 17, which corresponds to macOS High Sierra (10.13.x).
