I installed PopOS (I know there’s some absurd punctuation involved in the name but I don’t remember what it is) on my 5 year old MacBook Pro and it feels like a brand new machine. The UX feels better to me than MacOS which is starting to feel more and more like Windows imo.

You should look into enabling Wayland, which PopOS! disables by default. That should give you silky-smooth 60fps desktop transitions like MacOS, as well as 1:1 trackpad gestures. Happy hacking!

Yep. I'm not a huge fan of Wayland personally, but if you simply want "more Mac-feel" then it's probably perfect. Enabling it in your config allows you to switch between x11/Wayland without a real risk of borking your desktop.
