    :wrench: .files, including ~/.macos — sensible hacker defaults for macOS

  • 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)

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • ExpansionCards

    Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

  • Unrelated to windows vs Linux but if you haven't heard of https://frame.work/ I highly recommend looking into them. They're very pro right to repair and anti planned obsolescence. They have also chosen parts that are very Linux compatible and have been working with devs to keep everything working well.

  • website

    The elementary.io website (by elementary)

  • I think elementaryOS is an out of the box macOS imitation.
