MacOS like WINE
There is actually a Wine-like transplier called Darling. The problem is that development is very slow because there is not as much need for MacOS programs on Linux, and there is a huge shortage of volunteers and manpower. And it has been rendered almost obsolete because Apple moved to ARM. Additionally 90% of Apple's API is closed source despite Apple claiming to champion open source.
There's https://www.darlinghq.org/ , but it's much less mature and less capable than Wine, today. There are a variety of reasons for that. One of them is that Wine started much earlier, in 1993, vs in 2012. One of them is that there's a much larger library of existing Win32 software, which tends to mean that there's more interest in providing a compatible runtime for that software. And one is simply that there are commercial vendors like Valve working on Wine in order to ensure that Microsoft can't lock them into a platform like Apple's App Store and demand a significant percentage of all sales as Apple does for iOS.

RavynOS Finesse of macOS. Freedom of FreeBSD
Unfortunately not. Darling [0] is still at the point that it can only run command line applications. Only the most basic GUI applications are supported. That's still a massive accomplishment that I don't want to diminish, but it's nowhere near the point that WINE was at even quite a long time ago.

Darling: Run macOS Software on Linux
xcodebuild CLI to compile iOS apps without a Mac. Seems possible in theory, although there's an ongoing issue some are seeing apparently: https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/issues/488

[Review] Introducing cargo-xwin: A Solution for Cross-Compiling Rust on macOS to MSVC
There is a "Wine but for MacOS" https://www.darlinghq.org/, though we've never actually used it since it unfortunately doesn't support aarch64.

Validating binaries on different platforms from the source environment
Is only working for Windows and Linux at the moment (although Darling could be promising of OSX)

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... "
https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/wiki/Welcome-and-unwelc...
I am very attracted to this idea. I want a clean desktop daily driver that prioritizes UX.
I love many of the UX-focused priorities, but a much larger % of their priorities such as Linux vs FreeBSD aren't high for me and don't seem end-user focused.
An interesting idea I had never thought to question was considering "App Stores" as package managers.
"Package managers for end-user applications: Those are aimed at "managing the system", whereas everything that is to be managed on our system can be managed in the file manager and/or other GUI elements. --> Use package managers to produce a system image, which is considered immutable for the end user (like on almost every embedded system/software appliance)"
https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/wiki/Welcome-and-unwelc...
Good food for thought. Elsewhere they criticize App Stores for their commercial and centralized aspects. But I don't really see an issue with Ubuntu's App Store. It is just a GUI instead of only offering CLI, right?

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).
