making GNOME look like macOS Big Sur
A few days ago I wrote a tutorial on how to dualboot macOS and Linux on a Mac. I expected a bunch of questions that I couldn’t possible answer. Instead, I received a few questions on how did I customized GNOME to look like macOS.
Even if the internet is full of tutorials on how to customize every single DE available, I decided to write a tutorial on how I do it, which is slightly different from what is out there, posted on the webz.

an introduction to Linux security. AppArmor and Firejail
When it comes to computers, phones, the internet and so on, security is sometimes confused with privacy ( although sometimes they overlap ) and more often than not overlooked.
Dual-booting Linux ( or Windows ) alongside macOS is easy. Learn how to do it.
You can install macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur on Linux. You can even install macOS Catalina in a Docker contrainer in Linux. So how about today we’re switching things around, and install Linux on a Mac? But instead of virtualizing it, which is trivial, we install Linux on bare metal.

how to install macOS Big Sur on Linux
UPDATE: Back in August 2020 I showed you how to install macOS Big Sur with OpenCore on Linux. Back then Big Sur was in beta and you had to take some extra steps to install it. Now, that Big Sur is out of beta, the installation process was simplified and I’ve decided to create a new tutorial instead of editing the old one, to avoid any confusion. Let’s get started…
If you’re running a Linux distro as your daily driver, you can still other distros and OS’. You can even enjoy macOS. You can run Catalina using the clover bootloader and you can even install macOS in a Docker container.
Today we’re going to take a look at how set up a simple macOS Big Sur VM in QEMU, accelerated by KVM.
