How to make ubuntu look like mac (in 5 steps)

Steps to Make Ubuntu 19.04 Looks Like Mac OS Mojave

Step 1. Download and Install Ubuntu 19.04 Gnome Edition

Even though any other desktop environment can be used, I would recommend using the Ubuntu 19.04 Gnome edition. You can get the ISO from this link.

Step 3. Install Gnome Tweaks and Other Packages

Gnome Tweaks is a great tool to help us modify the Ubuntu appearance. You can install this program with this command

Chrome-gnome-shell package is required to enable the Gnome Extension Tool. We will need this tool later.

Step 4. Download Mac style GTK3 Theme and Mac Icon Theme

To get the best result, I would recommend the following GTK3 theme and icon theme.

  • GTK3 Theme: McOS-Theme, file name: McOS-MJV-Gn3.32-v2.2.tar.xz
  • Icon Theme: Mojave CT Icons, file name: Mojave-CT-Classic_2.tar.xz
  • Shell Theme: McOS-Shell, file name: McOS-Shell-themes.tar.xz

So basically, you should have those three files already. Let’s continue.

McOS-Theme Dark version

Install GTK3 theme and Icon Theme

To install the GTK3 theme, first, extract the file McOS-MJV-Gn3.32-v2.2.tar.xz. It will create a new directory called McOS-MJV-Gn3.32-v2.2. Open the folder and there is another folder inside it: McOS-MJV-Gn3.32-v2.1. We need to move or copy this folder to /usr/share/themes directory.

Next, do the same for the icon theme. Extract the file Mojave-CT-Classic_2.tar.xz and move the content to /usr/share/icons.

Finally, extract and move the McOS-Shell-themes.tar.xz shell theme. There are three themes inside. You can move them all to /usr/share/themes.

Apply Themes

Use Gnome Tweaks to apply this new Theme and Icon theme.

Move Dock to Bottom

Mac OS X comes with a beautiful dock at the bottom of the screen. You can install Plank, Docky or Cairo Dock to simulate the Mac OS X dock. But here, I am not using those three. The following set of commands will move your Ubuntu dock to the bottom of your screen and it will looks like this:

Commands:

Change Activities with Mac Logo

As you can see, the default Ubuntu’s “Activities” button is replaced with Mac logo at the top left of my screen. To do this, you will need to install Activities Configurator extension. And then enable and configure it from Gnome Tweaks.

You can download that nice Mac logo from this link.

Closing Words

I do love this setup and proudly share the tips on how to make your Ubuntu 19.04 looks like Mac OS Mojave. Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoy it. See you next time. Cheers

Single Boot (Ubuntu as sole OS)

WARNING: The instructions below will erase OS X from your Mac Pro. Make a backup of your data and have a copy of the OS X installation media handy in case something goes wrong.

Required Software

  • Ubuntu 14.04 — 64-bit (Do not use the Mac specific version)

  • rEFInd v0.8.1 (Latest binary zip file will most likely work)

Installing REFind

  • Copy the rEFInd zip file to your OS X machine and unzip it.
  • Open a terminal window: Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

  • Change directories into folder that was extracted from the REFind zip file:
    $ cd Downloads/refind-bin-0.8.1
  • Run the following command to install rEFInd:
    $ sudo ./install.sh --esp

    Note: If all goes well you should see a successful message

Installing Ubuntu

  • Insert the Ubuntu installation media (CD, USB Stick, etc)
  • Reboot OS X
  • The rEFInd bootloader should appear after a few seconds. Use the arrow keys to select the Ubuntu installation media and press Enter

  • When presented with the Grub boot menu use the arrow keys to select the «Try Ubuntu without installing» and press e to edit this boot entry.

  • At the end of the kernel line add nomodeset after quiet splash so it looks similar to below:

    quiet splash nomodeset --
  • Press F10 to boot Ubuntu using the modified kernel line.

  • Once Ubuntu finishes booting launch the installer and proceed until asked where to install Ubuntu.
  • Select the option to create a custom partition scheme.
  • Delete all partitions EXCEPT the partition labeled EFI

  • Create your custom partitioning scheme
  • When selecting the «Device for bootloader installation» choose /dev/sda<number>, never choose the EFI partition. If you don’t divide your / partition up then choose whichever partition / is.

  • Continue installing Ubuntu as you normally would. When asked to reboot or continue trying Ubuntu choose to continue using Ubuntu.

Fixing Grub

  • Mount the hard drive that Ubuntu was just installed on by either clicking on it in the dock or using the mount command in a terminal.

  • Open a Terminal window in Ubuntu and perform the following commands replacing <path> with the path to your mounted ubuntu hard drive.

    $ sudo mount --bind /sys <path>/sys
    $ sudo mount --bind /proc <path>/proc
    $ sudo mount --bind /dev <path>/dev
    $ sudo chroot <path>
  • Within the chroot environment open the grub file
    # nano /etc/default/grub
  • Change the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to include the nomodeset parameter.

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
  • Save the file and run the following command to update your grub configuration:
    # update-grub
  • Reboot Ubuntu and you’re good to go!

Fixing WiFi

If you want to use the WiFi that’s built into the Mac Pro you will need to open Additional Drivers application and tell it to install the proprietary Broadcom Wireless driver.

Производительность Mac Mini

SQLite — распространенная система баз данных, которая используется как в Mac, так и в Linux, производительность была почти одинаковой (меньше лучше).

Хотя в тесте SQLite MacOS показала неплохой результат, но в тесте на скорость компиляции намного быстрее работает Ubuntu, разница для компиляторов GCC и Clang незаметна.

Тест MAFFT опять отработал намного быстрее в Ubuntu, но здесь уже Clang показал себя лучше за gcc.

В тестах Fhourstones и TSCP производительность была почти одинаковой:

В тесте скорости компиляции ImageMagik MacOS 10.12 показала себя быстрее чем Ubuntu.

Но вот компиляция PHP была выполнена быстрее в Ubuntu с gcc, а результат Clang сравнялся с MacOS:

Тест C-Ray был самым быстрым в Ubuntu 16.04 с компилятором gcc 5.4. Этот тест лучше работает в последних версиях gcc.

В тесте Stockfish системы показали одинаковую производительность.

Интересно, что сервер баз данных Postgresql работает намного быстрее в MacOS, чем в Ubuntu 16.04. Результаты для Clang и gcc одинаковые.

Здесь Clang показал одинаковые результаты, а GCC был самым быстрым.

Clang быстрее в  SciMark2.

В OpenMP GCC работает быстрее.

Графические тесты показали лучший результат в Ubuntu.

Prepare the USB Flash Drive

The following process completely erases any data you have on the USB flash drive.

  1. Insert the USB flash drive and launch Disk Utility, which is located at /Applications/Utilities/.

  2. Locate the flash drive in Disk Utility’s sidebar. Select the actual flash drive and not the formatted volume that may appear just below the flash drive’s manufacturer name.

  3. Select Erase in the Disk Utility toolbar.

  4. Set the Erase options to the following:

    • Name: UBUNTU
    • Format: MS-DOS (FAT)
  5. Select Erase.

  6. When the process is complete, select Done.

  7. Before you leave Disk Utility, note the flash drive’s device name. Make sure the flash drive named UBUNTU is selected in the sidebar, and look for the entry labeled Device in the main panel. You should see the device name, such as disk2s2, or similar. Write down the device name. You need it later.

  8. Quit Disk Utility.

Настройка док

Большая часть macOS — это док. В Linux есть несколько доков на выбор, но лучше всего использовать (особенно при имитации macOS Mojave) — Plank.

Чтобы получить Plank, откройте терминал и установите его с помощью командной строки. инструкции ниже.

OpenSUSE

sudo zypper install plank

Установив док-станцию ​​Plank, нажмите Alt + F2 на клавиатуре и введите следующую команду в лаунчер для доступа к настройкам док-станции.

plank —preferences

В настройках дока Plank найдите Appearance и измените тему на GTK +, так что она будет использовать тему приложения McMojave.

Необходимо создать запись запуска Plank, чтобы док-станция запускалась при входе в систему. Для этого откройте меню приложения, найдите автозагрузку и откройте приложение с надписью «Запуск приложений».

Внутри запуска приложений, нажмите знак + и выберите Добавить приложение. Затем добавьте Plank, чтобы гарантировать, что док автоматически запускается при входе в систему.

Disabling SIP

Restart your Mac while holding down the command (cloverleaf) and R keys (command+R). Keep holding both keys down until the Apple logo appears. Wait for the Recovery screen to load.

  1. Open Terminal, which can be found under /Applications/Utilities/.

  2. In the Terminal window that opens, enter the following:

    csrutil disable
  3. Press Enter or Return on your keyboard.

  4. Restart your Mac by typing reboot into the Terminal, or use the menus on the Recovery screen.

  5. Once you have the Mac desktop back, download rEFInd from SourceForge at rEFInd beta, an EFI boot manager utility. Open the refind-bin-0.12.0 (or later) folder from your Downloads folder.

  6. Open Terminal, which can be found under /Applications/Utilities/.

  7. Arrange the Terminal window and the refind-bin-0.10.4 Finder window so that you can see both.

  8. Drag refind-install from the refind-bin-0.10.4 folder to the Terminal window.

  9. In the Terminal window, press Enter or Return.

  10. rEFInd is installed on your Mac.

    Optional but recommended: Turn SIP back on by entering csrutil enable in Terminal. Then press Enter or Return. 

  11. Close Terminal.

  12. Use the Shut Down command to shut down your Mac.

This is to update my progress in getting a stable Ubuntu Jaunty amd_64 desktop on a dual processor, nehalem based MacPro(20091.1):

INSTALLATION: 1) I installed on a second drive using the Jaunty (9.x) amd64 desktop CD. My drive had an EFI boot partition and a small (40GB) OSX partition. I created a large ext3 partition sdb3 and a small swap partition sdb4. I installed the boot loader on the ext partition in the «advanced» section of the partitioning section of the installation routine.

2) Installation was successful but upon rebooting there was a «no operating system» message when i tried to boot ubuntu. I rebooted the installation CD, selected the «run ubuntu with no changes» option. I then:

  • ran gparted and flagged the ubuntu partition as bootable
  • ran grub from the command line and issued the following commands:

root (hd2,0)

setup (hd2,0)

  • booted from the rEFIT .13 cd and selected the «Linux» option.
  • booted ubuntu and restarted without the rEFIT cd and since then the system has booted without problems.

3) the ethernet adapters in this machine have no drivers in kernel version less than 2.6.30. [for my initial installation i used a wired USB network adapter (Trendnet TU2-ET100) which worked effortlessly using boot discs from ubuntu 8.1x and 9.x

4) using that adapter i installed the packages required to build an ubuntu kernel. and used the ubuntu sources 2.6.28.11. the ubuntu config-2.6.28.11 worked without modification after patching the ethernet drivers. the patch for the pre 2.6.30 e1000e driver is available at http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/25/5235664s, but here it is:

Add device ID for a new variant of the 82574 adapter.

You have already installed Mac OSX and Windows Vista, now to install Ubuntu.

  1. Startup your laptop with Ubuntu Desktop CD inserted into the drive.
  2. In rEFIt menu, choose to boot the Ubuntu CD.
  3. Select English as the language to be used.
  4. Select the 2nd option, the one that says : «Install Ubuntu»
  5. After the loading, on the install screen, select the O.S. Language (English) and hit «Forward» button, then select your country location.
  6. On the Keyboard layout, choose your keyboard language, and on the other window select the variant Macintosh (mine is Portugal — Macintosh), and test the typing if you want.
  7. On the «Prepare Disk Space» menu, select the 1st option: «Guided — Resize SCSI3 (0,1,0), Partition #3 (sda) and use Free Space», and with your mouse select the desired partition size (I set mine to 80% Windows Vista & 20% Ubuntu), and hit «Forward» button.

  8. On «Migrate Documents and Settings» menu, just hit «Forward».
  9. On «Ready to Install» menu, select «Advanced…» and select to install Grub boot loader to the last partition «/dev/sda4» and hit «OK» button, and then hit «Install» button to begin the installation process.
  10. After the installation has finished, hit «Restart Now» button, it will exit the installer and eject your CDROM, then press «Enter» key to restart.
  11. Use the refit Partitioning Tool to re sync the MBR, then restart again, select the Linux icon on rEFIt to boot into Ubuntu.

Troubleshooting

  1. In case you are stuck with a «No bootable device» message or a blank screen, a bug prevents booting after a successful install (a blank screen or blinking cursor) See information on the forum here to fix it.

  2. If you did not install rEFIt, hold down Alt/Option to choose whether to boot into OS X / Ubuntu. The Boot Camp-installed boot menu will recognize the Ubuntu installation as «Windows,» but will boot Ubuntu normally regardless
  3. Grub cannot be installed on an XFS partition. If you want to use XFS for your root partition, create a separate boot partition with ext2 or ext3 and install grub on that partition.
  4. If you are attempting to triple boot (OSX, WIN7 using bootcamp and now adding Ubuntu) you probebly installed rEFIT. rEFIt version 0.14 has a built in limitation that messes up the Hybrid MBR that bootcamp set up, so now either booting into windows doesn’t work or choosing Ubuntu in GRUB always boots into windows (depends on how you partitiond your HD). So go here or here for detailed explenation, the solution on both is the same.

Why Install Linux on a Mac or MacBook Pro?

Your Mac offers excellent performance, superb battery life, and long durability. The hardware on a Mac is difficult to match, which makes it an incredibly powerful machine for running Linux.

What’s more, Linux breathes life into old Macs that are no longer eligible for macOS updates. Rather than letting your old MacBook Pro turn into an expensive paperweight, install the latest version of Linux and keep it going for years to come.

Ubuntu Is Our Linux Distribution of Choice

There are many different versions of Linux available, but for the purposes of this tutorial, we suggest installing Ubuntu on your Mac. Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution, which means there are lots of active support communities available if you ever need help.

We even wrote an extensive beginner’s guide to Ubuntu you can use to get started with it.

Ubuntu: A Beginner’s Guide

Curious about Ubuntu, but not sure where to start? Everything you could possibly need to get started with the latest version of Ubuntu is right here, written in easy-to-understand, plain English.

To Dual Boot or Not to Dual Boot

With a dual boot system, both macOS and Linux are installed on your Mac. Hold Option while your computer boots up to choose which operating system to use. The main difference between a dual boot system and a virtual machine is that you can only use one OS at a time while dual-booting, but you get better performance.

If you don’t plan to ever use macOS again, you might want to completely replace it with Linux instead. That way, none of your storage is used up by its system files.

However, if you ever change your mind, it’s difficult and time-consuming to restore macOS again in the future. This is especially true since Linux writes over the macOS Recovery partition.

For that reason, we recommend you dual boot Linux on your Mac. If you’re really certain you don’t want to do that, just skip the Partition step in the instructions below.

macOS Mojave icons

Хотя тема GTK, без сомнения, является наиболее важным аспектом в том, чтобы сделать рабочий стол Linux похожим на Apple MacOS Mojave, она не обходится без тема значков, поскольку без нее рабочий стол будет выглядеть очень неуместно и странно.

Как и темы GTK, для Linux существуют десятки тем значков, похожих на Mac, и любые из них доступны на Gnome-look.org стоило бы посмотреть. Однако, если вы хотите получить полный опыт, рекомендуется установить набор значков Mojave CT, так как он регулярно обновляется и настолько близок, насколько вы можете добраться до Mojave в настоящее время.

Установка Mojave Иконки CT в Linux начинаются со страницы Gnome-look.org. Затем, как только вы дойдете до страницы, найдите раздел «Файлы» и щелкните по нему мышью.

В файле В этом разделе вы увидите различные типы тем значков, такие как темная тема, светлая тема и т. д. Просмотрите список и загрузите тему значков, которая лучше всего соответствует вашей теме McMojave GTK. Так, например, если вы загрузили облегченную версию темы McMojave, вам следует загрузить облегченную версию значков Mojave CT.

Чтобы начать загрузку значка, найдите синюю кнопку загрузки справа и щелкните ее, чтобы загрузить на свой ПК с Linux. Затем, когда загрузка будет завершена, откройте окно терминала, нажав Ctrl + Alt + T или Ctrl + Shift + T на клавиатуре. Затем используйте команду tar для извлечения всего.

cd ~ / Downloads tar xvf Mojave-CT — *. Tar.xz

Со всеми файлами, извлеченными из файла TarXZ, его время установить тему значков Mojave CT на ваш компьютер с Linux. Для этого используйте следующую команду mv , приведенную ниже.

Для одного пользователя

хотите, чтобы значки Mojave CT были доступны только вашему пользователю? Установите его как один пользователь в каталог ~ / .icons.

mkdir -p ~ / .iconsmv Mojave-CT * ~ / .icons

для всей системы

Вам нужен каждый пользователь на вашем ПК с Linux для доступа к иконкам Mojave-CT? Установите его для всей системы в каталог / usr / share / icons /.

sudo mv Mojave-CT * / usr / share / icons /

Installing Ubuntu on Your Mac

By now, you have a working live USB flash drive that contains the Ubuntu installer, your Mac configured with a partition ready to be used for installing Ubuntu, and an itchy mouse finger just waiting to click on the Install Ubuntu icon you see on the live Ubuntu desktop.

  1. If you’re ready, select or double-click the Install Ubuntu icon.

  2. Select the language to use, then select Continue.

  3. Allow the installer to download updates as needed, for both the Ubuntu OS as well as drivers you may need. Place a checkmark in the Download Updates while installing Ubuntu checkbox and in the Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3, and other media checkbox. Select Continue.

  4. Ubuntu offers a number of installation types. To install Ubuntu on a specific partition, select Something Else from the list, then select Continue.

  5. The installer presents a list of storage devices connected to your Mac. You need to find the volume you created using the Mac’s Disk Utility. Because the device names are different, use the size and format of the volume you created. After you locate the correct volume, use the mouse or arrow keys to highlight the partition and then select Change.

    Ubuntu shows the partition size in megabytes (MB), while the Mac displays the size as gigabytes (GB). 1GB equals 1000MB.

  6. Use the Use as drop-down menu to select the file system to use, preferably the ext4 journaling file system.

  7. Use the Mount Point drop-down menu to select the forward-slash ( ), which is called the root. Select OK.

  8. You may be warned that selecting a new partition size has to be written to the disk. Select Continue.

  9. With the partition you just modified selected, select Install Now.

  10. You may be warned that you did not define any partition to be used for swap space, but you can add swap space later. Select Continue.

  11. You are notified that the changes you made are about to be committed to the disk. Select Continue.

  12. Select a time zone from the map or enter a major city in the field. Select Continue.

  13. Choose the keyboard layout and select Continue.

  14. Set up your Ubuntu user account by entering your name, a name for the computer, a username, and a password. Select Continue.

  15. The installation process will start, with a status bar displaying the progress. When the installation completes, you can select Restart.

    You now have a working version of Ubuntu installed on your Mac.

  16. After the restart completes, you may notice that the rEFInd boot manager is now operating and displays the macOS, the Recovery HD, and the Ubuntu OS. You can click on any of the OS icons to select the operating system you want to use.

    Select the Ubuntu icon.

Alternative — Networking without DHCP

Do as above, but without installing dhcpd. Once you have completed the setup, run ip addr to check the ip address for the tun0 interface. Mine was given as follows:

6: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 100
    link/none 
    inet 192.168.40.1/24 scope global tun0
    inet6 fe80::d868:17ff:fe7b:32c1/64 scope link

In OS X, then set up the en3 network port manually, by allocating an appropriate IP (in my case 192.168.40.2 was a good choice), set Router and DNS server to the ip associated with your tun0 interface in linux (192.168.40.1) and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Now you should be ready to go.

There is some more info at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~ctwardy/mol-debian-benh.html

Trouble Shooting

If you get mol module not found errors, try insmodding it manually

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.(your kernel version)-powerpc/misc/mol.ko

If OSX doesn’t start, edit the blkdev settings in /etc/mol/molrc.osx. Your OSX boot partition should not be mounted under linux and should have the setting of

blkdev   /dev/hda3 -boot -rw

Obviously the hda3 part could be different for you.

Wifi

Wifi Automatic installation

The Wifi card is a BCM 4328. It is usually well detected from the Administration/Hardware Drivers which should see a Broadcom STA wireless driver.

It seems the SSB module may require to be unactivated in some cases, e.g. with

sudo modprobe -r ssb
sudo modprobe wl

then add wl at the end of file /etc/modules

Wifi Manual installation using »Ndiswrapper»

Alternative is to use NdisWrapper

wget http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R151517.EXE
mkdir driver
unzip -a R151517.EXE -d driver/
cd driver/DRIVER/
sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
sudo ndiswrapper -l
sudo ndiswrapper -m
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

then add ndiswrapper at the end of /etc/modules

Create file /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper with content:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ndiswrapper
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: enable to load ndiswrapper
# Description: enable to load ndiswrapper
### END INIT INFO
rmmod ohci_hcd
rmmod ssb
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ssb
modprobe ohci_hcd
############# end file ############

Make it executable and start it as a boot process service with

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper /etc/rc2.d/S99ndiswrapper
