> Most people don't want to deal with this There's nothing to "deal with". You can skip all of that and have a nice KDE/plasma desktop. On the other hand you have the builtin option to do things that require 3rd party apps on MacOS (caffeine, magnet, etc.)

The default macOS is much nicer and coherent than the default KDE, year on year.

This is obviously a personal preference of yours or you have never used KDE Plasma.

Gotta be honest, the last mac I ever used ran OS8 I think, maybe 9, it was one of the classic Mac os's either way. I know this is just a UI recreation and not the actual OS but as a long time KDE user, like over a decade, I can't help but think meh, why does this UI get so much praise? I can make my desktop look, act and behave literally any way I want, I can modify every single aspect of every single thing on my des…

I know this one is very subjective (like all matters of taste) but personally I feel like MacOS generally has a higher level of attention to visual detail and consistency than other desktop OS’s. Examples that come to mind are font choice and font rendering (Windows fonts look ugly and weirdly antialiased to me), icon selection (when they change the style, everything is updated to be consistent), consistent spacing and other UI layout between applications, colour choices, animation etc.

Like I say, this is very subjective and Apple don’t get it right all the time, but based on my experience it’s better than the alternatives in this regard. If you value customisability or access to power user features over visual consistency I can totally understand preferring another OS as MacOS does not excel there.

Yea, sorry I "forced" you read my opinion.

Someone said they don’t want to try something and you still pushed on with “How about this way then?” with added gaslighting on top.

How fucking insane are you lol

Well looking at the numbers it's a preference of a very sizable group of people.

What fascinates me is that this was apparently written in just two days according to the commit log: https://github.com/PuruVJ/macos-web/commits/

Hehe don't let that fool you from the fact that it took me 6 months to get it in current state.

Moving to Svelte was just copy pasting a lot and modification :)

Last time I tried a Linux desktop basics like high resolution support were atrocious . macOS ships solid support for these kind of basics early.

it's pretty far from solid but def way better
