Oh yes, a MacOS like design but open with Unix, that would be amazing!

MacOS is only as good as its hardware integration. Lifting and shifting MacOS UX to another system would only be skin deep. Much of the simplicity (and ire to many technical users) of MacOS is because its deep vertical integration.

macOS is unix...

And he seems to not want macOS type design. Unless you mean System 8/9.

  • Modern macOS design is reasonably consistent but with fewer visual cues - still a step above Windows post-7. And yes, I meant the bezels and skeuomorphism of earlier design - exemplified by Windows 9x-2k and System 8/9, while NeXT and IRIX also deserve a shout.
