I don't feel that I have to fight the operating system at all. In order to get the package manager and a modern version of coreutils you have to run three commands:
$ sudo xcode-select --install
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
$ brew install coreutils
The upside is getting a system where most of what I need works out of the box with fairly sensible defaults. The viability of macOS probably depends heavily on the kind of work you're doing.
- nathancahill 5y agoI can't tell if you're being sarcastic, and I say this as a Mac fan, but your 3 commands are: - Install a whole IDE, so you can... - Install an unofficial package managar, so you can... - Install coreutils
- Ducki 5y ago"sudo xcode-select --install" doesn't install the whole IDE, just some cli tools.
- xodice 5y ago'xcode-select --install' literally just installs the developer command line utilities, not an IDE. Xcode, the IDE, is a separate download on the App Store.
- kalleboo 5y ago> an unofficial package manager I thought the reason everyone loved Linux was because you could mix and match components and choose what fits for you. But suddenly "an unofficial package manager" is out of bounds?
