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

enthusiasts to explore Darwin development outside of macOS.
Based on Darwin 17, which corresponds to macOS High Sierra (10.13.x).
