there's some ubuntu/gnome thing that replicates the worst features of the mac.

but here's the real question: why? the global menu bar is literally the most dated and outmoded element in macos. it isn't 1993 anymore. your computer can run more than one program at a time. a globally modal application focus is completely ridiculous. the only thing more ridiculous than a global menu bar is a global spinning beach ball mouse cursor. these are relics of the past and have no place in a modern, multitasking, multiprocessing, multiprocessor, multiscreen computing environment.

moreover, the things that matter, browsers and terminals, don't even have normal menus anyway.

kde plasma is superior in all ways. stop wasting time with weird outmoded 1993 era computer interfaces.

Sounds like the revived Unity/Unity7 still has a global menu bar, and there's a version called UnityX with Wayland support.

Can AI vibe code a way to get a macOS keyboard layout, basic shortcuts, and macOS-style emacs navigation in gui text boxes across the OS, on Linux? Last I checked all of that is pretty much impossible to achieve without accepting a ton of jank and some parts of the system where it doesn’t work (even the keyboard layout thing!)

Are existing menu bars unsecure? Or unstable?
