The macOS experience.
But without a Mac

An almost perfect clone of MacOS, which is functional and usable on a daily basis. Made with love for the community.

Choose your edition

Pear Edition comes in two base editions — Debian and Arch. Both include two boot variants: GRUB and rEFInd. rEFInd is the closest to the Mac experience and the most comfortable to use.

Debian Edition

A rock-solid, simple base. Perfect for older computers or anyone who values stability above everything else.

Ships with GRUB and rEFInd — the rEFInd variant is much more Mac-like and comfortable.

Arch Edition

Always up to date with the newest drivers and packages. The choice for modern hardware.

It works, and looks a lot like Mac

We clone the Mac design, but without making a Frankenstein: the distribution is made to be your daily companion.
