- l1k 10y agoPersonally I've been using fink for >12 years now, I enjoy being able to use the familiar apt-get and dpkg to manage packages on macOS: http://finkproject.org/ http://finkproject.org/ I even backported the then-current version to MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) last year. :-) https://github.com/l1k/fink/commits/branch_0_38_tenfour https://github.com/l1k/fink/commits/branch_0_38_tenfour
- maratc 10y agoI develop backend components that run on Linux servers. The editors, the terminal, the debuggers on Mac OS are pretty good for me. Brew works just fine for my line of work.
