Is there like some sort of Linux layer for macOS? I've seen some projects that can only run on Linux because they require the Linux kernel to work. Something like Cygwin maybe.
Thanks
I haven't come across any Linux-on-macOS system other than full virtualisation with software such as VMWare Fusion, Parallels, VirtualBox, or xhyve.
macOS does implement (most of) POSIX; it also shares some of the BSDs' APIs such as kqueue/kevent, plus of course a bunch of custom user-kernel APIs, some of them inherited from Mach. There's also an X11 implementation. (although the results are rarely particularly attractive) A lot of Linux kernel APIs do have macOS equivalents, even if they're not identical. You should be able to port many (most?) projects which currently only work on Linux to the Mac; the amount of effort involved will of course vary. It'll usually be easier if it already works on a BSD.
You'll need to be more specific to get a more specific answer.

I know that truecrypt isn't capable of creating a hidden OS but in another post someone describes the steps to do it manually and that he does it to all of his linux computers all of the time. Can anyone elaborate on his steps so that someone (like myself) who is not as experienced could accomplish this?
I would just ask this individual to provide more details but it appears as though their account is "anonymous" or something.
I developed something like you are describing.
Here https://github.com/antonio-petricca/buddy-linux you can find all the information and installation script.
Buddy linux allows you to install linux on (hidden) loop files (like for the link you provided), but providing GRUB loader by an external USB drive. So, removing, it will results in a Windows boot.
The other good stuff is that it is based on LVM, so you can extended file system "simply" by adding loop files as per your needs.
Regards.

I have a windows computer and connect to Linux on a remote server for my experiments. I want to use an easy interface software from windows to my Linux server (ubuntu 18.04). Can you give some tips on how to increase productivity in such a workflow?
Putty is fast, but AFAIK, does not support tabs, you will have to open different windows for different tasks, unless you use a terminal multiplexer like screen.
Try Mobaxterm and see if you like it. It is free, and supports multiple tabs, very handy for a single session.

My question is related to my grade project. Its about mobile video transmission using DVB-H link layer. Its a comprehensive project itself, and there are separate parts. I mainly construct system in Matlab Simulink, but there is one part, responsible for encapsulation/decapsulation of the stream packet, which was designed in Linux environment.
I didn't want to install new OS just for one application, so I run Linux on VMware Player as a virtual machine. So here is my problem - the applications (for encapsulation and decapsulation) won't compile (install) completely. I see mainly missing library problems. I tried to install necessary libraries, but the original application still couldn't see some of them. I feel like I'm missing something small, but clear to rather experienced Linux user. Here is the link to the programs
http://sp.cs.tut.fi/mobile3dtv/download/
"DECAPS - DVB-H Decapsulator Software" is the one (and FATCAPS link is there).
I couldn't find alternative encapsulator/decapsulator in for Windows environment. Its my last and only choice. If please some of the Linux users could try to run them in Linux environment, maybe its because I'm using virtual machine? Its also noted that the application was designed for Debian based systems, but I also did install Debian as a virtual machine and application won't even configure. Please help, guys, I'm really stuck here.
You'll probably need to install the development versions of the libraries -- under Debian, the'll be named the same as the original package, but with a "-dev" suffix.

i would like to use my older Samsung netbook for some coding (php, apache, mysql).
But Ubuntu distribution is quite slow.
Can somebody recommend to me some ultra fast and efficient linux distribution for netbooks?
Thanks and regards.
Take a look into this link here
Although I would recommend you either of the following 2 distros for small memory consumption systems
CentOS minimal ( Just install the xWindow package and you will have a full fledge Centos system with a memory footprint of approximately 300MB)
DSL ( Damn Small Linux) is a well renowned linux distro with a 50 MB memory footprint.
I would personally recommend using CentOS since you can easily find packages of almost anything for CentOS without any issue

I have 3G internet stick, Tele2 Huawei MF190. Now, when I connect it with Ubuntu, Debian etc., it asks me for my PIN and I just choose my provider and everything works great.
Now, when I do the same thing on other Linux distributions (I think it was Arch, Gentoo) it's not working out-of-the-box. Now, what library I actually need to have for this to work?
Why? I'm going to try making my own distro (just-for-learning) from LinuxFromStratch project and I want to be sure to include this library for 3G Internet sticks.
Thank you all! :)
You need to setup usb-modeswitch.
Couple of general guides explaining how to configure it are available here and here.
Also this discussion explains the exact steps needed to get Huawei MF190 working on Linux with the help of usb-modeswitch.
