I'm new to Android OS phones, but so far been able to root my phone and have left it at that (Samsung Galaxy S2 sgh-I777).
Now I see the ICS android OS and have been searching for it, only to find a developers name in front of the OS to download.
My question is, what difference do these OS have and is there a particular one that seems to stand out?

There's a little bit difference in the launcher, the widgets, the name of the ROM, the apps incluided, the status bar icons and more a few things. The system is always the same.
Devs:
Cyanogen:
Uses ADW Launcher as the default, and have T-Mobile Theme Chooser installed (No T-Mobile things).
MIUI: A iPhone-style based ROM, with a launcher similar to iPhone. The principal theme is White, and don't have the Theme Chooser.
There's a lot of ROMs in the web, but the system is always the same: Android ICS 4.0.
I was a winmo chef, and at that time, the homescreen of my rom was customized out of the box to deliver a unique experience.
Is it possible to do that with a launcher on android? I mean custom settings and personalization to be applied right on the first boot?
I'm asking this because I noticed that all the launchers on custom ROMs are on default settings, which makes it difficult to differentiate ROMs. Everyone is just concerned about the amount of tweaks available, but the rom itself does not offer a unique experience out of the box.
I have had no experience with android rom development, but I'm looking into it, and any help regarding this matter is much appreciated!
Edit: I think this should probably be in the Chef Central. I'm sorry about this. Can a mod move this to the appropriate section please?
Can a mod please move this to android chef central?
If you built the ROM from source then maybe by editing the source code of the aosp launcher but other then that no. Android works very differently then winmo did.
It would be possible to bring the launcher or the UI on Android 6.0 x86
anyone has any idea where to start?

The UI, I am not sure how possible it is, without compiling a new ROM (and whether it is open-source or not).
The launcher, if it is open-source (as well as the libraries that it utilizes), you can try building from source, while packaging those libraries with it.
I'm sorry I can't help any more than this, I only know these these theoretically.
And the image is here since I am out of thanks.
I also think that the Remix OS launcher should be ported over as a standalone app for AOSP.
the ideal would probably to be create a launcher app with the ux / ui remix

I don't really think that it's possible.
The closest thing, in my opininion, would be a simulation of the UI.
However what I had meant by launcher, is the taskbar+start menu.
The desktop is a seperate app in Remix OS, and I find it hard to think how it would work properly in AOSP's UI.
However, I do agree with you about how it should ideally be.
It's not possible, it's closed source.
You could reverse engineer it, but it'd rather be a waste of time.
Actually the taskbar and start menu is just modified version of the navbar. If you know android app development then you should be able to inter grate navbar code from remix os to Android-x86.
Is there a ROM that turns android to iOS?
Depends on your phone. There are some older phones that have full custom ROMs that make android act like iOS. You can do a little digging and see if there is one for your phone, but if not there a plethora of launchers for android that make most UI elements look like iOS.

My phone? LG V30 running DotOs

I've read several articles stating that android P would have a similar multitasking view as ios 12, through the P-beta it has become clear that it is not the same as on IOS. I'm bored to see always the same multitasking view for years. The people of MIUI have also managed to make the multitasking view similar to IOS 12. Correct me if i am wronge
to my actual question: are there any xposed modules or mods that can do this? For the people who do not know what I mean, check out the uploaded pictures
One Article for example: https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/04/19/android-p-will-come-with-a-redesigned-recent-apps-interface/
No there is no xposed mod for this. The requires huge rewrites in the base frameworks.
