From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here's mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company's OS ;p
I use:
I apologise if I missed anything.
Nah, I'm just inspired my macOS's design, there are still many things I prefer about Linux.
For one thing, the UI on macOS feels very unresponsive, and that's not just because I've mainly used it in a VM, I've used it on a real device too and it had the same issues. It's a fundamental issue on putting transitions that are way too long on simple functions that don't need to be a transition at all. I can't even move the cursor normally, it's smoothed in such a way that it takes much longer to get it into a precise position.
Secondly, they refuse to use the same keyboard shortcuts as Windows and Linux, and I didn't see an easy way to change them back.
Thirdly, you need to sign into an Apple account to use many apps or features of the OS. They also block a bunch of things that are simple to do in Linux.
