HelloSystem – OS with original Mac philosophy with a modern architecture
Funnily enough I was playing with a couple of old PowerMac G4s a couple of weeks ago (actually wiping them for disposal - though I've since decided to keep at least one!)
I realised very quickly that I'd forgotten how good the OS9 interface is, and how well it stands up against today's offerings. Trying out a lookalike them on Linux [1] is definitely on my todo list:

best distro for Mac like user interface?
Nitrux, or the FreeBSD derivative "Hello/System"

Global Menus Distro?
HelloSystem is an interesting design that is intended to be just the kind of interface you're wanting. The author is critical of modern user interface design and advocates the Macintosh interface. It's interesting stuff to consider. Hellosystem is based on FreeBSD and is not ready for users (and may eventually be a FreeBSD desktop, not a Linux distro).

HelloSystem – OS with original Mac philosophy with a modern architecture
Are you suggesting they should have chosen Wayland? I think they have a good argument against it:
"Wayland: Under development since a long time, it offers no clear advantage over Xorg while it makes things more complicated (e.g, breaks screen recording) --> Use Xorg instead, or (maybe even better) no X server at all but pure framebuffer (like *ELEC does for media centers). Also see https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d... "

XFCE 4.18 Released
> Custom Actions
> It is now possible to arrange custom actions in cascading submenus. Just enter the same submenu name for a custom action in order to place it into the same menu. If you require multiple menu levels, you can achieve that by using '/' in the path of the 'Submenu' entry.*
In 2012 KDE AppMenu Runner was presented as a "plugin which allows to browse, search and select the menubar of the active application".[0]
In 2019 I requested to somehow implement a feature, similar to Blender's "Menu Search"/"Operator Search"[1], into Olive Video Editor.[2]
After it "Action Search" was implemented into Olive Video Editor ('/') shortcut, its code was reused for "Action Search" in Scribus ('Ctrl+/') and then converted into Qt5-plugin.[3,4]
Year later, this Qt5-plugin code reused in for implementing global "Action Search" in helloSystem FreeBSD distribution.[5]
Then "Search and Run a Command" ('/') was added into GIMP.[6]
Guess, GIMP's implementation may be used for other GTK-based apps too (especially Inkscape, which still has no such feature).
