Linux is a kernel. Making your own distribution and DE is how you create a Linux-based macOS.

I’d say System 76 is doing that but their execution has stumbled for the past year or so. They are working on their own Rust-based DE, to some level of success. I hope they get back on track.

How do I get full-disk encryption on Linux without having to type a password twice on boot? This is not a surface-level issue you can solve at distribution / DE level, and it’s not the only one.

A good pre-installed environment of current tools would be nice, of course.

No need for linux. There's the helloSystem[1], a FreeBSD-based macOS clone...
