A little offtopic, but I'd like the _reverse_ -- a Linux-like experience on the Mac. Mac hardware and underlying macOS so I can run my favorite native apps and tap into the cleanly-syncing ecosystem, but with a non-hacky tiling window manager, relatively stable text-based locations for configuration, permissions/access patterns that don't change under my feet on every system update, and sane, smooth networking.


Oh gosh please, I would love to use Niri / Hyprland on macOS — that is the one major driving force keeping me in between the two.

I would also gladly move permanently to Linux if it had full iCloud support, with stuff like native iMessage at least


I consistently use Amethyst.app and it’s okay I guess? It’s great compared with other tiling on macOS, but compared to niri and sway et al it’s a shade.


Same. Aerospace, Yabai and co are great efforts, but it’s just all so hacky and frustrating.


I replaced my laptop with an iPad+Smart Keyboard, and a ClockworkPi uConsole. With this small collection of devices I have the best of all possible worlds.

I only wish there were a better X server for iOS these days. VNC is a bit fiddly.
