Retroactive: Run Aperture, iPhoto and iTunes on macOS Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur
I've read the article but some questions still remain. Does Retroactive install the shared dylibs of previous macOS releases? Or does it use an approach similar to https://www.macports.org/ ?

Why would 4K Video downloader need a bluetooth connection?
I highly recommend using yt-dlp to download videos in the highest quality available from a wide variety of web sites (notably YouTube, hence the "yt" in the name, but it supports a ton of sites). The best way to install it is with an open-source package manager, either Homebrew or MacPorts. These make it easier to install dependencies like Python 3.11 and optional (but highly recommended) utilities like ffmpeg. Both Homebrew and MacPorts are great, and you can install both side-by-side. I guess I'd recommend Homebrew over MacPorts because it downloads pre-built binaries instead of compiling from source, so it's faster. But again, they are both great.

Homebrew
This is Reddit so they will most likely be people who say to download Macports, but frankly, I don't care, and homebrew is enough for me. I'm not smart, but I know not to download programs/random things without prior research, don't use sudo commands on things you don't know and don't enter your password if you feel unsafe.

Long-time Windows/Linux user with a new Macbook with some generic questions (Macbook Pro M1 Pro)
The initial setup was quick and painless, but I quickly realized that MacOS does not ship with a package manager (to my surprise!) the Apple Store won't be enough to cover my needs, so onto Google I went. I learned that the two most popular package managers are Homebrew and MacPorts. After reading for a while, I found some users concerned about how Homebrew managed folder permissions (here and here), and with the fact that it installs already compiled binaries, which may be a security/privacy issue. However, it seems that the folder issue was addressed with the ARM release of Homebrew, which now installs under the /opt/homebrew folder.

Homebrew 4.0.0 release
On Linux, most distributions come with their own package manager out of the box (e.g. Ubuntu / Debian has APT). One annoying thing about macOS as a development platform is that it does not come with one out of the box, and Homebrew has emerged as the most popular third-party management by far. There are other ones like MacPorts as well but I think this is the kind of thing where the popular one tends to become more popular because people don't want to learn/use multiple package manager. I actually used to use MacPorts before I switched to Homebrew just because it's been getting a lot more momentum / features / development and it's where every package is.

Want to revert OS so we can run Aperture and see family photo archiv
Others have offered solutions, but for future reference the actual Terminal commands that failed would be useful; "File not found" sounds like a path error, "Command not found" sounds fixable via Homebrew or Macports

UNIX as a concept, vs a trademark
TL;DR, about the section that states software from other UNIX-like OSes is hard to port to MacOS, how about homebrew and macports?

It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?
I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine

Window manager that behaves like on WindowsOS?
And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

[Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.

How to tile (auto-fit) all open windows on the screen? Example: If you have 8 windows open, you want to auto-fit all 8 windows on the same screen. What about 3rd party apps?
This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.
iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS.
If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.
