In this video, I walk you through a complete visual transformation of Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon into a clean, macOS-style desktop using the WhiteSur theme, matching icons, and a smooth dock setup.

We start with a quick system update, then install everything step by step. You’ll see exactly how to apply the WhiteSur GTK theme, switch to macOS-style icons, and set up Plank to recreate that familiar dock experience with transparency, zoom effects, and perfect positioning.

By the end, your desktop will feel minimal, polished, and modern — while still running the speed and stability Linux Mint is known for.

Everything is done using simple commands and built-in settings, so even if you’re new to Linux, you’ll be able to follow along comfortably.

All commands are included below for quick copy and use.

💻 Commands Used in This Video:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git

# Download themes
git clone github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme
git clone github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-icon-theme

# Install GTK theme
cd WhiteSur-gtk-theme
./install.sh

# Install Icon theme
cd ../WhiteSur-icon-theme
./install.sh

# Install Plank dock
sudo apt install plank

If you want to go even further, you can add macOS-style cursors, wallpapers, or Cinnamon extensions to complete the look. Just ask and I’ll guide you.

Enjoy the new look — clean, smooth, and surprisingly close to macOS… but still fully Linux underneath.
