From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I've been customizing my system for a few days now to look more like a mac-book, and I've found this program called "plank", which is supposed to be a mac-like dock for Linux. However, it doesn't operate or function correctly, as I use fedora KDE Spin. I was trying to install Pantheon, but I don't think its supported anymore, or at least the package does not exist.

No match for argument: pantheon desktop
Error: Unable to find a match: pantheon desktop

I would love to know if anyone has any ideas to make my system look like MacOS, without a massive headache.

I honestly think the best way to emulate Mac OS is by using KDE. Make a dock at the bottom, add a menu bar up top and add a system tray, choose an appropriate plasma theme and you’re done.

I actually like that idea! That’s the only thing I’m missing, and I forgot macOS had the top bar at the top. I never used it, but I know and seems creators use it, so I know what it looks like to some extent.

I don’t like the proprietary nature of Macs though 🥲

Heh, por que no los dos? I’ve got a MacBook, thinkpad and steam deck. Thinkpad runs pop os, steam deck is used as a small gaming desktop with the described setup (as well as krohnkite since I’m addicted to tiling)
