pearOS is a Romanian Linux distribution that revives the concept of the original 2011 Pear Linux, now built on Arch Linux and KDE Plasma 6.5.4 with heavy macOS-style theming. It features a working global menu bar, custom Settings app resembling iOS style, and GNOME Files instead of Dolphin, though many advertised features like Focus Mode and Pear Intelligence aren't yet implemented. The custom installer has limitations including whole-drive installation only (no dual-boot partitioning) and requires 12GB disk space and 1.2GB RAM at idle.
