Learn to use a MAC - online? (1 Viewer)

[Isaac]

Is there any good resource, for free I hope maybe(?) where a person can just go to a website and tunnel into some sort of gadget (real or imaginary) which mimics a MAC and they can simply learn how to use it?

Or better, a software that shows you all the basics of navigating around and helps you figure out where to click?

Have someone who is taking a class using some software and most of their practice opportunity is in a computer lab with only Macs.
They need to learn how to use a MAC and spend a while getting more familiar - outside of the limited time they're allowed in that lab.

You can theme your PC so it looks similar to a Mac, with a dock at the bottom. But there are a number of differences. I find the Finder (their stupid name for File Manager} to be rubbish. For example the default setup when you alpha sort is to have folders and files all mixed in together.

The links below go beyond your question in that they involve using certain Linux distributions that mimic the MacOS. Several Linux distributions can be loaded onto a USB flash drive and run (virtually) from that flash drives without affecting your existing operating system (but does involve booting from the USB flash drive). Should you have a spare computer, a Linux distro could be installed on that computer for practice. That would essentially be similar to going to a computer lab. Of course going to a computer lab with real Macs for hands-on practice would be superior.

I have not heard of WacOS Linux distribution. It is also not referenced in the Foss article below this one, so I suspect it maybe new. As an apparently "new" distribution it may not yet be available for download.

Very informative - thanks!

@Steve R. that's very interesting, too - If I had more time & access to the machine in question used by the person then I would try it
