On a linux desktop I actually don't want something that tries too hard to copy MacOS.

I want a traditional desktop metaphor not very different from KDE2.

The closest thing right now is something like ordinary xorg + XFCE4 + all of the XFCE4 additional packages.

XFCE4 is small, clean and minimalist enough that it's entirely unobtrusive as a linux desktop GUI. With sufficient customization of the taskbar, and multi-desktop switcher, it's the best I've found so far.
