After about 50 installs of Ubuntu, I finally have the perfect setup, with all of the packages and configurations I want. I have an install script (executed using bash) to do all of the work).
My configuration: Ubuntu with a QEMU/KVM Windows 10 GPU Passthrough. I also have my [Ubuntu] desktop configured to look like a Mac. It looks amazing! :-D See: https://ibb.co/WV97vnj https://ibb.co/WV97vnj
But before I did all of that: When I would set up a new OS, one of the first steps I do is install a screen recorder with webcam recording. I would record the setup process with the screen recorder and the webcam going and I would also talk through the setup. But, the key is to put (copy/paste) all of your executed scripts that you used during setup into a text file--and then email it to yourself prior to abandoning the setup process). Also, I upload the video to my NAS for later review, to help with making more refined setups, and also to add notes/comments to the bash setup script.
With regards to my setup: the Ubuntu is the primary operating system, but in reality, it works in tandem with the Windows 10. I basically use Ubuntu and Windows 10 in tandem, and it works much better than WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux 2).
In fact, I can even play games in virtual reality with this setup! (But, in reality: I only truly need Windows 10 for heavy reading as I have a print-related disability known as severe convergence insufficiency. The screenreaders in Linux just do not cut it. Also MacOS screenreaders also do not cut it for STEM work.)
Anyways, here is a good rudimentary "guide" which illustrates the thought process needed to create the QEMU/KVM Windows 10 Passthrough. See: https://pastebin.com/5tuvWTMH https://pastebin.com/5tuvWTMH
As for making Ubuntu look like MacOS, see this (ignore the dashboard part--as there is a better guide): https://medium.com/@shahriarazizaakash/make-your-linux-ubuntu-look-like-mac-os-d80c6d3ea99 https://medium.com/@shahriarazizaakash/make-your-linux-ubunt...
Here is the best guide for the MacOS dashboard (go to the "plank" part and follow the instructions from there to create the best and most realistic MacOS dashboard for Ubuntu): https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-macos-theme-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-macos-theme-on-ubuntu...
