10 Gnomes In Venice Mac OS
Manjaro Linux, Linux Mint, and Fedora are probably your best bets out of the 14 options considered. 'Arch User Repository access' is the primary reason people pick Manjaro Linux over the competition.

Caffeine allows the user to keep their computer screen from auto-suspending at the flip of a switch. The coffee mug shaped extension icon embeds itself into the right side of your top bar and with a click shows that your computer is “caffeinated” with a subtle addition of steam to the mug and a notification. No, there is no way to run GNOME terminal app in macOS or change the built in Terminal.app to GNOME terminal. There are third party terminal emulator apps such as iTerm2 available for macOS as well with other features. MacOS Terminal.app provides bash as the default shell.
Linux desktops are some of the most customizable experiences out there. Whether you’re using GNOME, or MATE or KDE Plasma you have more customization features out of the box than Windows or macOS users. And that’s not even counting the crazy number of icon packs, and GTK themes floating around on the Internet. For instance, Microsoft is slowly working towards a dark mode on Windows 10. Apple will be introducing its users to a dark mode with the upcoming macOS Mojave. We’ve had dark themes on Linux for around a decade if not more. We’ve even shown how easy it is to theme Linux to look like macOS. Now we even have macOS GTK Themes for Ubuntu including the dark mode.
Some Linux users dislike the fact that other Linux users want to theme the OS to look like other operating systems. But then isn’t that what flexibility and customization are all about? Linux users are free to make their OS look like anything they want, whether its macOS or Chrome OS. Apple’s macOS has always had a gorgeous design. It should come as no surprise then that so many Linux users like their systems to look similar.
The new “Mc-OS-MJV” theme has been made by prolific theme creator PaulXFCE. His Ambiance-RW theme was so good that it inspired the Ubuntu devs to incorporate some of the ideas into their Ambiance theme. We’ve already seen his Arrongin theme which was quite unique too. PaulXFCE has previously created some of the best looking macOS GTK themes for previous macOS versions such as High Sierra and Yosemite. His new themes imitating the macOS Mojave look aren’t mere updates to existing macOS themes though. This is what he has to say about his latest themes.
“These are high end and thoroughly developed GTK-themes for the gnome desktop (3.20+ through 3.28) that interprets the Mac Os themes to the gnome-environment. I’ve modernized it in every little detail. There is nothing (not a single item) that is not new. Resulting in a completely rewritten GTK.CSS-file.”
His work speaks for itself once you install the new themes. If you’ve never used any of his previous macOS themes you might not notice the subtle differences but we can assure you there are plenty. You can compare the screenshots of Nautilus above for a general idea.

How to install macOS GTK Themes on Ubuntu
Since Ubuntu officially uses GNOME as its default desktop, we’re going to mention the installation steps for GNOME. In case you use other GTK based desktop environments such as MATE, the installation method is still pretty much the same. The way you apply the theme might be a bit different since all these desktop environments do things differently.
- Download either or both of the themes linked above. You’ll have tar.gz archive files once the download completes.
- Right-click on the file(s) and select Extract here. If you’re using the Dolphin file manager instead of the default Nautilus, select Extract > Extract archive here.
- Copy the extracted folder and head over to the .themes directory in your home folder. In order to see the .themes folder, you may have to press Ctrl+H for Nautilus and Alt+. for Dolphin. Just create a .themes folder if you still don’t see one.
- Paste the copied folder extracted earlier from the archive file.
- On GNOME, you can apply themes using the GNOME Tweak Tool. Launch GNOME Tweak tool and select McOS-MJV from the drop-down menu next to Applications.
The steps above were a quick run down how to generally install themes on Ubuntu. But this is only one of the many ways you can install themes.

If you’re looking for a Mac theme for Linux, look no further.
GNOME-OSX II is (as you might have already guessed) a Mac GTK theme for Linux desktops — and it’s a pretty pretty adaptation.

‘This theme is a ‘gnome-desktop-interpretation of Mac OS X”
Yup, this is not an out-and-out copy of the standard UI in macOS. The theme describes itself as “a gnome-desktop-interpretation of Mac OS X”, with the theme designer saying they’ve “tried to implement the feel of OS X on the gnome-applications.”
This means the theme it’s not trying to be a pixel-perfect clone of the macOS theme — and there are plenty of GTK themes that try to do that out there — but instead adapts the core design of Cupertino’s desktop OS in a way that makes sense (and looks best) on the GNOME desktop.
The GNOME-OSX II theme works with most modern GNOME-based desktops, including GNOME Shell, GNOME Flashback, and Budgie. But the theme does not work with the Unity desktop.
Aside from evoking the form and function of macOS there are some novel touches too, such as the use of a blurred sidebar in the Nautilus file manager, and consistent theming across GTK2 and GTK3 apps.
A compataible GNOME Shell theme is also available to download for those wanting even more mac-inspired bling for their desktops.
Why do this?
Debate about the merits (or otherwise) of theming a Linux desktop to look like another operating system arises every time a theme like this is presented.
The terse answer is, if you can’t understand the appeal, sense or logic in doing it: don’t.
Whether you have Apple envy or simply admire and appreciate the design aesthetic of a macOS, there’s no shame if you decide to make Ubuntu look like Mac. The whole point of using Linux is (after all) that you can do things like this — you certainly can’t make Mac OS X look like Ubuntu!
Download GNOME-OSX Mac theme for Linux
The GNOME OS X II theme requires GNOME 3.20 or later. To use it on Ubuntu you need to be running Ubuntu 16.10 or above.
Once the download is complete you need to extract the tarball to your ~/.themes directory.

Finally, to switch theme on you need to use the GNOME Tweak Tool, which is available to install from Ubuntu Software.
