How to transplant a software to macOS from linux?

Tweet

About one year ago, I bought a macbook to substitute my fujitsu s6240, which totally broke down due to an accident. After using this laptop for a year, I have not adapted to macOS yet, especially its poor compatibility. And I'm still wondering whether I can transplant some softwares to macOS myself or not. Is it a tough task? I mean, is it possible to transplant a software to macOS myself from linux? I heard that linux and macOS both origined from unix, so I think they may have something in common. By the way, I'm not quite familiar with programming.
