For GNOME desktop users desiring a more macOS-like experience, a new GNOME extension provides a macOS-inspired quick menu option.
As pointed out in GNOME's weekly [1]This Week in GNOME publication, there is a new extension option for those wanting a macOS-like quick menu for their desktop.
It is called the [2]Kiwi Menu and had its first release this week to provide recent items, a power menu, and other options.
They also recommend pairing it with the [3]Kiwi is not Apple extension for an even more macOS-like GNOME experience:
Other GNOME changes this week include PAM support making it into oo7-daemon to be a drop-in replacement for the GNOME Keyring Daemon, continued work on the Bazaar app, Fractal messaging app updates, and other new/updated GNOME extensions.
