So I installed OpenBSD 7.0 on my iMac G3 and well no desktop environment will fully install because of missing packages… even compiling CDE was a no go because KSH93 is broken on macppc. At least it’s a step in the right direction as far as getting anything graphical working.
You could try giving https://github.com/morgant/mlvwm a try to compile, also extra mac flare :D
- Did everyone try mlvwm?

Running MLVWM (Mac System 7, OS8/9 style window manager) on Ubuntu via WSL and vsxsrv
git clone https://github.com/morgant/mlvwm.git cd mlvwm xmkmf -a && make && sudo make install
- Ask HN: Can anyone remember a Classic macOS-like desktop for Linux?

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).

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).
