Pick Darling if…
Darling may suit Linux users who want to run supported macOS software, especially command-line tools. It is less suited to users who depend on graphical applications, since GUI support is experimental and most GUI apps do not work.
Pick FAudio if…
FAudio is intended for developers working with FNA's audio and media functionality or building for the listed open platforms. Users should be prepared to work with its build instructions and SDL dependency.
