I never understand the “Gnome is a MacOS clone” thing.
Other than a black bar at the top which has the time and a few system icons, what to they really have in common?
The workflow is entirely different, the dock is almost always hidden in Gnome, MacOS has no activities view, Gnome doesn’t even use the icon in the top left as a start-menu.
The top bar isn’t the exact same, it’s extremely different. Gnome doesn’t use a global menu, doesn’t have a start menu, doesn’t have the clock on the right. The only similarity is the bar being at the top and containing stuff like WiFi and battery icons.
The window decorations are different. The UI looks different. Gnome doesn’t have a permanent dock, doesn’t have stuff on the desktop. Window management works in a very different way, MacOS doesn’t have the activities view, etc.

Yes it is MacOS with the dock hidden. And without window buttons. And they are not on the left and not damn colorblind unfriendly.
I mean the top bar is the exact same, the app drawer, the workspaces. The quicksettings. They just removed even more stuff.
No it isn’t.

They are not alike.
