Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well! I’ve got a quick question—any way to transform my Linux Mint OS to look and feel like macOS? I’m wondering how to go about it. Do I need to write a script, or is it just a matter of downloading and tweaking some themes? For reference, I’m running Linux Mint 21.3 XFCE (64-bit). Thanks in advance!Mint Mint

check some youtube vids on that exact topic. I'm sure there's tons.

specifically search xfce

you can also slap Twister UI on it with one fell swoop, and pick the Mac look.

Found a video and a playlist, but it is a little old. I am not sure if the settings software and installation guide will work in 2025.

You can download Balena etcher for Windows or MacOS. Balena etcher will write the Linux iso to a usb device. You can then boot from that USB device to install Linux mint or XFCE.

Looks like the twister os site has permanently removed or stopped the twister UI download

you may do a timeshift snapshot first, and adjust its settings to INCLUDE hidden home folders/files

Before attempting twister install.
