You are a former Mac user and want to get the most perfect Linux distribution out there?
1. Install Ubuntu MATE.
2. Use MATE Tweaks tool to switch desktop layout to "Cupertino" (yes, that's the codeword for a Mac like desktop layout providing a global menu bar).
3. You may get a little bit annoyed by the full size Brisk menu. If you want it smaller change its dconf value to 'classic'.
Ubuntu MATE Community: How to change the configuration of Brisk menu.
3. When you are changing your display setup often (f.e. when using a laptop), you may get annoyed by the Plank dock floating around. Apply this patch:

4. Choose a color setup of your taste (I like it rather blue than green).
Enjoy!
Update from 2024-10-05: While Ubuntu MATE is a very decent distribution it falls behind as it is not adapting to GTK4 and Wayland. I'm also missing the GNOME Online Accounts feature very much. That is provided by Linux Mint (LMDE). If you're looking for GTK4 and Wayland consider elementary OS. If you want Online Accounts, GTK4 and Wayland you need to bother with GNOME (I don't like to though).
