I watched 8 of the 19 videos on the iLinux YouTube channel before I headed over to the iLinux website. There I read a bunch of comments in the community forum. As an extremely picky, 33-year Mac user, I must say that I am very impressed by iLinux OS.
In 2019 some reviewers claimed that Deepin (Linux) is the most MacOS-like of all the Distros, so I tried it. It looks beautiful on the surface, but the installation was the usual unnecessarily complex nightmare (I see that iLinux is cloned onto drives, not installed, which sounds promising). Also, Deepin isn't even remotely close to being Mac-like when it comes to actual use. I deleted it right away. By contrast, iLinux OS looks very user friendly, judging by the videos I watched. There are multiple very easy ways to access every type of menu command, and each command is written in plain English.
There's only one catch: The full version is still not Mac compatible (see link below). Only the extremely limited "Recovery DVD" version is. The developer says a Mac version of the full OS is in the works, but he didn't say how long the wait would be. I have two Late 2006 iMacs, one of which would be ideal for testing iLinux OS.
One last thought: I am very impressed by the developer's responses to the few critics who have posted comments in the forum. That fact, combined with what I saw in the iLinux "Internet Search" app video, indicates that he is very much against censorship, unlike Tim Cook.
