dotfiles VS macOS-Defaults

I don't advise just running Mathias' config as is, but read through it and see if anything seems to be something you want in yours, make the changes, and save it somewhere for the next time you're setting up a Mac.

There's some stuff in there about speeding up certain animations (look for `# Speed up Mission Control animations`), and about not reordering "spaces" (desktops, full-screen apps, search for `# Don’t automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use`) based on use which I think may also affect cmd+tab ordering? Not sure, but it's a setting I always change anyway because the default doesn't make sense for power users.

About the trolling thing, sorry, I was genuinely not sure if you were arguing in good faith or just making stuff up, as most of the things you were saying were just plain incorrect or dishonest, from comparing desktop computer performance to low-powered laptops, to incorrect statements about features macOS truly excels at.

initially borrowed from these dots and then tailored to my needs.

I added a PR to fix rsync, mosh, and some other tools, since they will be broken out of the box.

But it seems this project has fallen behind on PRs.

If you would like to have this fix, you can do this after cloning the repo:

  git clone https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles && cd dotfiles

Set some sane defaults for the OS. Browse through this script and pick and choose things that you may like.

If you have a mac already just open terminal and start using it a little to look around, look up dotfiles (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles) projects and Homebrew. Install homebrew https://brew.sh/ and use it to install things your looking at as replacements for what you use on OSX (most of them will be available on OSX and can be installed with Brew)

I use Mathias’s dotfiles. and coreyms dotfiles.

Mathias Byens' dotfiles repo is a bit like this - https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles. It's highly opinionated, but I found it extremely useful as a starting point for setting up my own dotfiles. This repo seems simliar to me - the point is the sharing, not necessarily that you'd blindly run it without reading through it.

Mostly manpages and experimentation. Here are some: https://github.com/kevinSuttle/macOS-Defaults/blob/master/RE...
