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?

Native macOS fix for applications hiding under the MacBook Pro notch
> * I discovered a free, native macOS solution that doesn't require installing Bartender or any other additional apps.*
> You can adjust the values from 0 to 6 to accommodate even more icons. Personally, I found 6 to be a good fit.
It's ultimately a really petty point - but this is not a fix. This increases the number of apps on the top bar before the problem occurs. Bartender (and hidden[1] - which I discovered in this thread) fix the problem. Calling a technique that delays the problem "a solution" after sneering at a project that actually is a solution just rubs me the wrong way.

Windows like hide/unhide menu bar items in Mac?
There's Hidden Bar but I think it's a lot like Bartender. It has an arrow too if that's what you want.

App LIST!!!
Dozer (free - open source), HiddenBar (free), free alternatives to bartender, however, only does 1 thing and that's hiding the icons, not adding an extra menu, nothing just icons here, icons gone.

What happens when your menu bar has too many icons and it goes underneath the notch? Thoughts on notch and the need to use an app like Bartender for the new-gen MBPs?
For apps that you never interact with that way, and won't let you turn their icons off, get HiddenBar.
