I've been documenting various things concerning this setup in a couple of places. Note I am basing some of this, the css, on Mojave-dark being the system theme. https://github.com/rbreaves/sorun/issues/30 https://gist.github.com/rbreaves/0123b9584ca288536c60bfe81e96e976
Switching from macOS to Pop _OS

Could try my Sorun.me script.. built for Ubuntu Budgie and installs a lot of dev goodies (can be read in a basic yaml config file before installing) and yes consistent shortcuts from my meticulously built Kinto.sh app.

Apparently the creator of kinto.sh (the script to change shortcuts to be macOS-like) is working on a bigger script called sorun.me to make many things in Linux behave more like macOS. I'm not sure what's the extent, but I'll probably test that on Ubuntu Budgie too later.

Can you make the top bar universal like macOS?
1 project | /r/gnome | 6 Dec 2023

What you are looking for is called Global Menu. AFAIK is not supported on GNOME. There was an extension: Fidem but I'm not sure if it works nowadays.
Is there any GNOME extension which replicates macOS application menu in panel bar?

2 projects | /r/gnome | 1 Sep 2022

So, any solution for that, please? I saw this guy saying on the repo that it got it working on Fedora 35, with these same packages, so are not there any solutions for it to work on 36?
