GUI USING OPENGL
Hi A long time ago i saw an opreating system called ravyn os(it's name was airyx before) and i was impressed by how beautiful they made thier gui to look too similar to apple one's and when i get a bit deeper in thier the code i discovered that thier gui was made by using apple cocoa 😅https://github.com/ravynsoft/ravynos So here's my question could i make a gui library using opengl and make it look like apple cocoa 🤔 or it's not the thing that is made by API like opengl and is made by a ready gui library 🤔

GUI in c++
Hi Since a bit longer i found an open source opreating system called ravyn os (it's name was airyx before but it changed now) and i was impressed by how the made thier gui which was too similar to apple cocoa gui but when i get a bit deeper in the gui code i found that they did it by using apple cocoa library 😅 https://github.com/ravynsoft/ravynos So here's my question how could i make an application using a library or even an opreating system that pop up a window with a good looking such as apple or even to design my own style for the window and should i use any API such as vulkan or opengl to make such a thing or this is unnecessary?

Projects for Old Versions of OS X
My feelings about Mac OS X are similar to the author's. I switched from a Windows XP/FreeBSD dual boot configuration to Mac OS X Tiger back in 2006 when I bought my first modern Mac, a Core Duo MacBook. I've remained a Mac OS X user from Tiger all the way to Mojave. Mac OS X in the 2000s to me was heads-and-shoulders better than the competition. It had a well-designed user interface, and most applications conformed to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. It also provided me a Unix shell whenever I needed it. In my opinion Mac OS X peaked at Snow Leopard; in fact, I'd be comfortable using Snow Leopard (or even Tiger) as my daily driver today if it supported current hardware and if there were a modern web browser for it. It was a nice marriage of NeXT technology and an updated version of the venerable Macintosh user interface. It felt much more pleasant than Windows of the era (though I admit I liked Windows 7), and the desktop environments for Linux and the BSDs simply didn't compare.
Then came the Tim Cook era, and with it came the gradual locking down of the Mac, both in terms of hardware (for example, the soldering of formerly upgradable components such as RAM and storage) and software (for example, notarization). The user interface also gradually started adopting more iOS influences, which I think take away from the desktop experience. Due to my disappointment with Apple's direction (especially since roughly 2016), I opted not to upgrade my aging 2013 MacBook Air and 2013 Mac Pro with new Macs, instead switching to a Microsoft Surface Pro (running Windows 10) and a custom Ryzen 3900X build (which runs both Windows 10 and FreeBSD). I miss macOS, but I enjoy the openness of PCs, and I enjoy the flexibility of Windows and FreeBSD.
I am keeping an eye on two very interesting projects that attempt to replicate the spirit of early Mac OS X: helloSystem (https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/) and airyxOS (https://airyx.org/). Both projects are based on a FreeBSD foundation, but the major difference between the projects is airyxOS is a much more ambitious attempt to reimplement macOS's infrastructure (even going as far as to aim for supporting "trivial" Cocoa applications), while helloSystem has different (Qt) underpinnings, with an emphasis on replicating the Mac OS X look-and-feel and promoting adherence to the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines. If these projects become successful, this will provide people who desire the early Mac OS X experience modern systems that will maintain that experience.

is there any way to natively run macos applications on freebsd since macos is just a freebsd fork?
As another commenter mentioned, AiryxOS is working on an API-compatible open-source implementation of many macOS Frameworks, however it is incomplete.
-
Are there any plans to work with the darling developers and potentially fork darling for macOS app compatibility?
Our focus right now is on running FreeBSD and Linux applications. But the https://airyx.org/ project is aiming for source-level compatibility and eventually possibly even binary-level compatibility. If they succeed, maybe the improvements will flow back into FreeBSD and helloSystem one day.

FreeBSD 13.1-BETA1 Now Available
> … Probably best to not try to make BSD into modern Linux which is basically FreeWindows. …
airyxOS, based on FreeBSD, aims to provide "… the finesse of macOS with the freedom of FreeBSD. …".
<https://airyx.org/>
I wish well to projects such as this, however I rarely engage – testing and feedback – because the focus on Apple keyboards is too much for me.
(I taught myself to use the keyboard in a very different way when I switched away from Apple after twenty-something years. I don't intend to un-learn that switch.)

Anyone heard of MactorOS, or have used it? They claim to be the next best macOS linux clone.
0.5. Wait for airyxOS to be fully complete and run it. It is a freeBSD based system that aims to be compatible with MacOS.

Updating My Mac Window Shortcuts Strategy for Optimal Workflow
Rectangle’s installation is incredibly straightforward. Its immediate out-of-the-box functionality was a pleasant surprise. For anyone seeking to reduce the friction of window management on their Mac, Rectangle is a solution I wholeheartedly recommend.

Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2024
Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

Everything I install and set up on a new MacBook as a web developer
I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.
