[heavy ravine]

is this macOS made to look like EndeavourOS, or EndeavorOS made to look like macOS?

[heavy ravine]

oh @wintry junco sorry forgot to ping :3

[wintry junco]

EndeavourOS made to look like MacOS

[heavy ravine]

cool--you did such a good job i couldnt tell OwO

[wintry junco]

Yo!

It was better with Aylurs Widgets but that's not on Gnome 46

[heavy ravine]

ahh im sorry

[wintry junco]

I used to use Gnome 43

With debian

[heavy ravine]

i used to be a mac user daily, so i cant believe i got fooled

[wintry junco]

Helps I have my dad's Mac mini for reference

[heavy ravine]

awesome :3

the best mac-like experience ive found out of the box is hellosystem, but its freebsd based (not a linux distro)

i daily drove hellosystem for a little, but using a more obscure os is hard

[wintry junco]

I love a MacOS like experience, Apple did so well with their ui

Btw the pc is ancient

[heavy ravine]

yeah; macos is way better than windows in terms of ux

[wintry junco]

Facts

[heavy ravine]

(and i mean, in terms of everything tbh)

[wintry junco]

I'll give them gaming but that's it

[heavy ravine]

yeah;.freebsd is the best os for gaming though; at least if you only play free and open source games

[wintry junco]

I play MC so that's a no go lol

[heavy ravine]

freebsd runs linux apps

its binary-compatible with linux, so the software availability is the same

[wintry junco]

Hold up I'm starting discord on my dad's mac

To show you how it looks, it's updating discord rn

@heavy ravine

this is my dads mac homescreen (stage manager is on for screenshot purposes)

[heavy ravine]

cool!

i remember now; mac has its bar attached to the top whereas yours is detached

thats the only noticeable difference is that top panel

[wintry junco]

I could attach it I just like it

[heavy ravine]

yeah; i prefer my panels detached

unfortunately i use cinnamon so theres no way to detach it 😭

[wintry junco]

Gnome is superior

[heavy ravine]

im told as much, but i found it harder to theme

clearly thats a skill issue though, considering what you've done :3

[wintry junco]

Id be willing to guide you through it

[heavy ravine]

wouldnt i have to reinstall my os?

other than my panel, i really like my current rice

[wintry junco]

No

[heavy ravine]

(im not a furry i promise; i just like that wallpaper :3)

[wintry junco]

I can do it easily OH DEBIAN FANTASTIC

[heavy ravine]

ok, then what do i do?

[heavy ravine]

yeah i like debian :3

[wintry junco]

Can you give me an hour watching Blackadder

[heavy ravine]

👍

[wintry junco]

@heavy ravine if you don't want to wait follow this guide

https://www.xda-developers.com/steps-make-linux-look-macos/

[heavy ravine]

well, idek how to go from cinnamon to gnome

and im kinda scared to just for a better panel

[wintry junco]

It's absolutely fine

Your legit installing an app

And extensions to go with it

[heavy ravine]

ok; ill give it a go

[wintry junco]

Just follow the guide and you'll be good

[heavy ravine]

well first i have to get onto gnome

[wintry junco]

No

[heavy ravine]

oh yeah, i was reading it an i can use the gnome extension manager

[wintry junco]

You install the gnome tweaks and manager apps

Just follow it and you'll be good

[heavy ravine]

whew, thatll make this much easier; im following the guide rn

tysm :3

[wintry junco]

Np

Your welcome

[wintry junco]

@heavy ravine how did it go?

[heavy ravine]

well i realized that gnome panel settings dont work with cinnamon 😦

also, i realized that the panel they use in that tutorial cant appear while youre in a fullscreen application, which is problematic

[wintry junco]

Oh I'm sorry

I had no clue I switched to GNOME after I left the nest (mint) with Debian so I have no clue

Btw what distro you using?

[heavy ravine]

just plain debian :3

i like the simplicity of it UwU

im told endeavorOS is great though OwO

[uneven tide]

is this price reasonable?

to me I think it’s a very good price, for the effort they put into their ecosystem, best value laptop on the market right now for the price for modern tasks.

[wintry junco]

If you have money to burn yes, MacBooks are the best laptop in my opinion the OS is simply supreme, also if you have the extra budget upgrade your storage to 1tb as you can't add it on later

[wintry junco]

Well what do you do mainly, editing, browsing, gaming?

[wintry junco]

Is that the MacBook pro or MacBook Air?

[heavy ravine]

no; just, uh, no

UmU

[uneven tide]

air, 15 inchs 16 gb ram, 512 gb storage (you can just buy external ssds which many people do), and mac books are generally great for everything, but most importantly the battery life, which professionals need.

[uneven tide]

I do some programming, browsing ofc and gaming can be done on a game console for cheaper, easier, and less of a headache, I say all of this from experience I have owned a gaming pc that has up to date specs, and thinkpads, a mac + a gaming console is just the best combo in opinion, unless your a hobbiest who has some time to burn instead of burning some money.

[wintry junco]

That usecase definitely fits a MacBook also smart choice going with more ram

[uneven tide]

At the same time, an old thinkpad running i3-wm or cinnamon or xfce seems nicer and more comfortable for certain tasks, love the thinkpad design, although mac books have unparalleled screen ppi, (pixels per inch) so you can’t see the pixels when you are using the laptop, and they confused the resolution just good enough, honestly they deserve the overpricing. still kind of insane though 1,700$ lol.
