Other Looking for a good Mac-Like GUI

[l008com]

Any suggestions? There are so many GUIs to choose from, its hard to make sense of them all. But as a Mac guy, i'd like something that is similar to macos if possible. Less the more recent macos's, and more macos in its heyday . . snow leopard type macos But really, anything thats easy to use and functions well should be good enough.

I wasn't testing it, xmonad is my weapon of choice.

The project looks like dormant but still it's probably your best bet:

GitHub - helloSystem/hello: Desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Based on FreeBSD. Less, but better!

There is no such thing anyway, the sooner you accept it the better you feel.

So.. the macos gui is distantly descended from NeXT, which was Steve Jobs's last project before he re-joined apple. Windowmaker is a partial next clone that implements some of the ideas in the next interface, and Openbox is another open source take on a next-type UI. There have been various attempts to make both of them look something like macos, for example try this which is recent.
