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.
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.
Edit: there are many things about them that are different, but the overall design seems similar to me. I think GNOME is way more usable and makes more sense. But still, having a top bar already is kinda odd and I think using that already makes you “macOS like”.
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.

No it isn’t.

They are not alike.
