You‘re probably not the target group. It’s an open source project (in comparison to the MacOS walled garden) and I think that especially your 3rd question is disrespectful. In general your comment reads like a rant against the open source philosophy to me and is attacking/demotivating people who spend their spare time to create free software. Instead of attacking OSS creators one should give kudos and encourage them to go on. … just my 5 cents.

"helloSystem is a desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac."

I think I am kind of exactly the target group.

Why is "why is half of the screenshot used as my first encounter with this system in a different language from the rest" a disrespectful question?

>Why would I want to switch to this?

Because you value free software. That's the only reason.

It's a very compelling reason for many people. If it's not compelling for you, that's ok.
