Still seems to me that Plasma with libdbusmenu-qt5 is the closest interface paradigm to MacOS for people trying to swap (not that there aren’t other problems), but glib and gtk versions exist so someone out there must be working on it?
This is proving exceptionally hard to search the web for, so apologies if this is out of date, but it seems the answer was “no, and it never will be, so stop asking” as of 2018: https://twitter.com/danielfore/status/991836014070022144
Was this from before Elementary was positioning as the MacOS replacement? I can’t be the only one who thinks the global menu is one of the MacOS interface’s killer features.
I understand why it’s been hard under the X paradigm, but those crazy dbus people are pushing entire application interfaces through IPC now.
That's one way to kill any credibility you had I guess.
In any case, this release of Elementary isn’t any more paired down than the latest GNOME shell.
They seem to have a relatively sane approach to building GUI toolkit (though “sane” is relative given this particular domain) so I’m curious to see where they take things even if I don’t use it.
Seems like Plasma or MATE are the only real options if you want a functional global menu.
