    From <https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-linux-distro-combines-the-best-parts-of-windows-and-macos-and-its-gorgeous/>:

    Such is the case with the latest release of BlueStar Linux: a
    distro that essentially takes KDE Plasma and twists it into a
    different kind of desktop, one with a highly functional top bar, a
    well-designed dock, desktop icons, and more. You're getting the
    best of all worlds:

    • A Linux-like top bar
    • A MacOS dock
    • Windows-like desktop icons

    You might think of BlueStar Linux as the chimera of operating
    systems.

    Once again, it’s not the OS that looks like this, it’s just the
    default GUI desktop environment.

    Given that this distro is Arch-based, presumably it has access to the
    regular Arch repos as well (unless they build their own packages with
    their own dependencies). If so, you have access to all the usual GUI
    (and other) options you get with Arch.
