ElementaryOS is a Mac clone. You want a Mac-like setup instead of a Windows-like setup.

Kinda. It’s more like an alternate universe GNOME that embraced OS X 10.9 Mavericks style UI design. It’s gorgeous and I wish more desktop environments would take cues from it but it’s only Mac-like superficially.

		Gorgeous, lightweight, easy on the eyes, gets out of the way. I cannot plug it enough.

Well, as they say, each one of us have our own perception but it never felt like a mac "clone" to it. It is imho an excellent mac inspired desktop that just tries to help the user of the computer and gets out of the way. Simple, elegant and really fast. This I am telling from almost a decade ago and based on quick tests over the years or screencasts.

I sometimes used to fantasise Apple ordering their UX folks to just adopt it pixel by pixel and stick to it.

It may have started out that way but it definetly is no longer. It has some very nice features that Mac lacks (picture-in-picture for whatever part of the screen you want for example).
