Forgive the naivety, but what graphical Linux apps are people trying to run that don’t have native MacOS builds? In my experience, Linux GUIs are generally written in Qt or GTK, both of which are multi-platform.

I don’t doubt that they exist, I’m just struggling to think of a popular example.

I want to use KDE Plasma instead of Mac OS ugly (in my opinion) interface

I mean Apple hasn't done itself any favours with Macos Tahoe.

I don't want KDE but I would much prefer gnome to macos desktop, I think it's both prettier and more functional, and that's not a tahoe thing. I hate finder too, and don't see any way to properly use an alternative.

To be honest, I agree a little bit because I remember from my time at customizing KDE that everyone wanted it to make it look like Mac OS

but it feels a bit of peer-pressure/cool-factor, people used to like how Mac OS look but after Tahoe, I feel like most people don't.

To be honest, I am on mac right now but I really like Niri/Hyprland and to a degree KDE as well. I definitely feel like those were immensely more customizable and I miss that customizability, even if some people might use that customizability to make it look like MacOS default.

Similar opinions are voiced in about every recent macOS UI thread, and even occasionally in Windows threads.
