>It builds on the solid foundations of FreeBSD Why not build on Darwin which basically forms macOS's core? And how it differs from helloSystem?
Possibly because of greater hardware compatibility.
It's just a bad idea. They'll never get even close, and those screenshots on Imgur prove it.
What I'd prefer is if these definitely brilliant developers would "own" the Unix history more, and build upon Motif. Put the effort do create a mimicry of MacOS into modernising Motif. Hopefully not just make the chrome translucent, but really think about how Motif would look if invented in 2021.

I probably missed a lot of things, but didn’t Gnome already achieve this? Weren’t most of the people behind its design from Apple?
Ubuntu's Unity was a lot more macOS-like with the default global menu bar, then they gave up on it :( Gnome doesn't even have a menu bar anymore, preferring apps use a single hamburger menu.
I'm OK with a global menu bar, or app-window menu bar, but hiding everything behind a stupid hamburger thing on a desktop computer?
Weird choice IMO. I'm just living with it, though, since I don't really want to fuck around with my system itself.
No screenshots for a GUI-centric OS? Seriously?
If this isn't the final look then I apologise.
Not to diminish the effort, but I think replicating the look and design (as in how things work) of MacOS (or Windows 10) is a pitfall that very few alternative OS developers manage to avoid.

It's a great idea. Because developing your own look and feel for the entire OS is an enormous task. This way you at least have a foundation to build upon.

No, building software for iOS is possible on other platforms although this is against the terms of the Apple developer agreement.
> this is against the terms of the Apple developer agreement. Of course it is Heaven forbid we have any choices at all.

If you read my comment, you'd have read that I propose to look to the history of Unix as the foundation.

You want developers to start with the clunky design, poor usability and terrible implementation of Motif?
