More developers use Linux than Mac, according to 2022 StackOverflow survey

• colima

  110 16,793 8.2 Go

  Container runtimes on macOS (and Linux) with minimal setup

Colima on an M1 Mac has been working fine for me. https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

Just do a 'colima start' once a month when I actually have to reboot my mac, to boot up the background VM, and everything else basically runs as normal.

  A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning

I use MacOS for development, and I too was used to a tiling wm on linux. Yabai[1] as a wm and skhd[2] were totally necessary. It's a bit of a pain to install, but once it's set up it's been completely frictionless for me.

• AppleBlock

  3 - -

> privacy settings (it used to be "set what you want to share" and now it's "learn what is shared")

What I like to do with this is have two versions of hosts file and two versions of /etc/pf.conf

In one setting, I use https://gitlab.com/intr0/AppleBlock/-/blob/master/AppleBlock... in the hosts file and block the whole 17.X.X.X ip range (Apple's range) in the pf.conf

The other setting doesn't have any of these blocks

Whenever I need some apple service (e.g. updates or apple developer stuff), I run a script to toggle the blocks

The benefit of this approach is you get apple services only when you need them

• Windows Terminal

  506 93,467 9.7 C++

  The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place!

  

• nnn

  200 18,170 8.1 C

  n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

Same experience. For me Finder is simply unusable, not sure if I'm not used to it but the experience is terrible for me. So I prefer to do everything through the terminal or use some TUI like https://github.com/jarun/nnn

The only time that I have to interact with the UI is when I have to do something on System Settings, which is also dreadful.
