The #2 reason I'm still on a Mac is because I prefer the look of its UX. Can you recommend a good window manager/theme that replicates macOS Sequoia?
And also one that will replicate system 7 because I am an old and nostalgic man.
Making KDE look like a Mac is an entire genre of easily downloaded and installed themes:

System 7 stuff is going to look very small at 2026 screen resolutions. The widget dimensions on it mostly correspond to the original Mac's dimensions, from 1984.
That being said, it looks like archive.org has archives of kaleidoscope.net's
the most popular third-party theme engine
theme archives:

So in theory, somone could make a bulk converter from System 7 themes to GTK or whatever.

There's an "Mac OS" category of GTK themes on gnome-look.org, and I imagine that the KDE people probably have something comparable. I haven't used any myself.
Thanks! Iβll try these out tomorrow.
Sidenote: Is there a flying toasters screensaver?

That being said, it looks like xscreensaver doesn't presently fully work on Wayland (or didn't as of six months ago):
