From MacOS to PulsarOS (Mac Edition)

Leaving MacOS to enter Linux, in this case with Pulsar OS, is the best decision you may have made.
Below we explain the differences between the two. Tenga en cuenta que esta lista no está completa, por lo que le sugerimos que contribuya a ampliarla.

• Packages: On MacOS the installation packages are PKG or DMG. On PulsarOS, which is based on Debian, the packages are .deb. What a .deb does is package a set of files located in an internal structure that replicates the locations that the developer wants them to have once installed. There are also Flatpaks, isolated applications agnostic to the distro. Flathub is one of the largest Linux app stores and PulsarOS has it integrated into the AppStore.
• Cut, copy and paste: On Mac, users are required to drag files to change their location. In Linux this can be done easily with the "cut" command. (Super+X)

Keyboard shortcut remapping is not yet implemented

• Settings app: The PulsarOS Settings app differs slightly in appearance from that of MacOS but is equally similar and can be quickly adapted to. The most notable differences are the absence of colored icons or the absence of some sections that are not necessary in the environment used by Pulsar OS. Another issue we are working on is not being able to authenticate with an Apple account. (Only Google and MS available). That doesn't mean you can't search the internet for ways to sync with the account, but don't worry, we'll add support soon.
• Menu bar: The menu bar is implemented in PulsarOS but with differences from the implementation that Apple makes in MacOS. By decision of the foundation that develops the GNOME graphical environment and the GTK framework, applications do not export their menus via D-Bus so that it is practically impossible to obtain the menus of an app. Likewise, the new Wayland window composer (which replaces X11), prioritizes isolation and security, which makes the task more difficult. But, in deference to users, we have added global menus to manage the window, so adaptation will be simple.
• App in background: When you close an app on Mac, it actually minimizes and stays in the background. In Linux and GNOME that is not normal behavior. When you close an app, it closes completely. This improves device performance while making app management easier.
