Have you thought about installing GNOME, which is the default desktop used
by Ubuntu and Fedora:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=276512

It pinches quite a bit of UI from the Mac.

You can configure it to do top-of-screen menus (Ubuntu has flip-flopped
about whether that's the defualt).

It appears GNOME has a limited number of acceleration profiles, but you may
have to dig around (via gnome-tweaks) to change them.

Be warned that GNOME is fairly heavyweight - probably OK on a Pi 4, but
earlier Pis will struggle.
