Open Source Stela Layer Runs Apple Silicon Code on x86-64 PCs

Stela is a GPL-2.0 open source UEFI boot program that combines an arm64e-to-x86-64 AOT/JIT translator, a Metal driver for NVIDIA GPUs and a model of Apple Silicon hardware to boot macOS and most apps on ordinary x86-64 PCs. At v0.1.0 it is slow and limited in compatibility, with the project itself warning that boot success rates remain low and much hardware work is pending.
