This is so cool, the little mini screenshots look gorgeous because it replicates MacOS. I’m not sure if a lot of people feel the same but over the years I always thought it was a shame that Linux’ overall UX and aesthetics seemed a little bit more rushed and “crowd sourced” (in the sense that it felt diverse in terms of ui opinions and taste etc). It almost makes me want to try Linux again just for that look and feel (because I love my Mac’s but would like something different and more free)


> the little mini screenshots look gorgeous because it replicates MacOS.

I have the opposite reaction. To me the screenshots look like someone tried to replicate macOS but failed. The text antialiasing is off, the font is different (and worse), the border-radii on menus are off, etc.

Besides, the actual screenshots of the current OS (https://ravynos.com/screenshots) are... really rough.


i didn't expect it to look so...dated[0]? the things are approximately where they are on MacOS, but it looks like Window 2000/ME/98.

[0]or retro, for anyone who's offended by me calling it dated.


Those mini screenshots do not look like anything like what's in the "Screenshots" section:

Wow that looks very different to what’s on the front page! Where did you find that and where can we see how it really looks then?


To me, it looks a lot like Uncanny Valley macOS. Yes, it's macOS, but something's just not right. Maybe the fonts don't look right, or the spacing of the icons on the dock?
