Not my experience. It took a couple weeks of noodling to get parts of my environment moved over, and some of my automation I just moved to a linux box because I got sick of it.

Wow.
On the planet I use a Mac on, the complaints are about a set of non-manageable, opaque and somewhat buggy security changes that arbitrarily changed semantics on big chunks of the filesystem and broke a bunch of things is hard to figure out ways.
Add in that there is no sensible mechanism for cleaning up any of these magic permissions paths, and I don't even know what permissions are active on the machine I'm typing on.
I've loved OS X for being a decent gui on a real Unix. It had a decent run, but my next laptop will be a Linux box.
- tolger 6y agoI'm in a similar situation. As a UNIX, command-line user I've noticed that every release they make things harder for us. Yeah, Homebrew is great, but Apple doesn't support it and they could break things anytime. Lately, I've been doing most of my dev work on a Windows 10 machine using WSL. It's come a long way and is very usable now.
- Hackbraten 6y agoIt’s unlikely that Apple break Homebrew. On the contrary, Apple is helping Homebrew tackle the architecture transition. Having said that: I agree, WSL is pretty amazing.
