LynX

Makes Linux Mint look and work like "big cat"-era Mac OS X

The target is Mac OS X 10.6.

Getting Started

1. Install Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 Edge
2. Run the following in the terminal. You will be prompted for your password.

   cd `mktemp -d`
   wget -O lynx.zip https://github.com/benchristel/LynX/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
   unzip lynx.zip
   LynX-main/setup.sh

What's in the box?

• Themes for window borders, controls, icons, and cursors
• Dock configuration and theme
• macOS keybindings (e.g. Super+C instead of Ctrl+C to copy)
• The classic OS X "Flurry" screensaver
• ...and more!
