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 don't think Pantheon even supports Wayland, although I could be wrong.

If you're fine with giving up customisability and trying a new distro, you could give Elementary OS a spin. It uses the pantheon DE, and the entire OS is designed around offering a mac-like experience.

Otherwise Gnome and some customisations will be your best bet IMO, if anything it might be the ideal route to stick with here

I managed to get latte Dock customized to my liking. It works fine and I can get my work done with ease. I do have elementary, an old version mind you, on my Ventoy usb drive if I ever need it.
