My two favorite/most-annoying aspects of macOS: 1. Me: Clicks on .py file ... MacOS: "Please update XCode with 13GB of patches..." 2. Me: Tries to run "gdb" .

- hdjjhhvvhga 4y agoMy issue with the first one is that modern Xcode releases take forever to install on 128 GB macbooks. It wasn't like that at all in the past. A 128 GB macbook pro was an entry-level model, but you could comfortably install Xcode in an hour maximum. Now I had to leave it open for the nigh. Just to update to a minor version. This basically means I can hardly use it for anything else.

- happymellon 4y agoAn hour? That is ridiculous. It takes forever, but it really shouldn't. It only seems to get installed to provide a compiler. Why does that take an hour? `apt install gcc` takes a minute.
- plorkyeran 4y agohttps://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes can install Xcode in a few minutes (plus however long it takes to download). Be sure to enable the experimental option to extract using unxip. Yes, it's absurd that you need a third-party application to install Xcode.
