Welcome to the WacOS wiki!

https://github.com/seanpm2001/WacOS/blob/master/Graphics/Branding/Old/WACOS_LogoPrototype1.png

This is the home page of the Wiki. It is not to be confused with the WacOS Home directory.

WacOS is an open source replacement project for all versions of MacOS, iOS, iPhoneOS, TvOS, WatchOS, and all Apple software.

This Wiki is a glossary of Apple terms, alongside info on how it aligns with WacOS and how well it is supported/its re-development history.

Currently, a lot of articles are based of their Wikipedia counter-parts, being mirrored here, and reformatted in markdown with special details. A lot of articles here need lots of work, it is still good to have them all in one place.
