> helloSystem ... fork of FreeBSD ... re-create the Mac OS X Tiger user experience and conventions

There are also a few GNU/Linux distros in this UX category, e.g. Zorin, Elementary, Budgie ... They are listed on https://distrowatch.com/. (I have no association with these distros.) Maybe helloSystem should be added to Distrowatch?

In general, the spirit of Gnome was/is to improve UX (user experience). There have been misadventures shall we say. At this point, I have come to want just a terminal, an editor, and a Web browser. ^_^

I think it's worth mentioning that a lot of MacOS design language has been absorbed into Gnome itself: grayish/metallic windows, the app launcher, the top menu bar, et alia.

But no menu in the top menu bar, making it kind of a waste of space
