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.

I'm talking about the System 7/8/9 days of macOS. I really like the aesthetic and workflow in the older macOS versions (call me a masochist) and I'm hoping if someone knows of something that already exists. I know there are plenty of skins/themes that hearken back to Windows 95/98, but most of what you find online when you look for "Linux like macOS 9" is things that make it look like modern macOS.

But how do you put the menu bar in the panel? I don't see any such xfce plugin anywhere, neither you're mentioning it. That's the stickiest point trying to emulate Mac.

vala panel appmenu could be a option.

It's in the debian repos, i installed it, but it doesn't show up in the xfce applet list. As for the gtk/wm themes linked abov, they're not downloadable apparently from the website they're linked.

Hmm, i can’t help you with debian. I had vala app menu working with Xfce also in the past, but don’t use it anymore.
