    i love how much it’s changed in just ten years because i remember in the 2010s and late 2000s, every company would make me use windows despite loving the dev environment of mac (especially snow leopard).

    now it’s almost the opposite with wsl and all

    (pls don’t come at me - i actually use linux on both my laptop and desktop now i’m just saying anecdotally)

    brew install iproute2mac

    Also docker is not on homebrew, but there is an installer for it (or you can use Orbstack, which also provides docker). Not everything is on brew, some things may have separate installers, but a very quick google search will help you find all of these.

    However, journalctl might be not as helpful on mac - you can install it via brew, but it’s not really mac-native.

    As an OG bearded UNIX person, my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it - do things on the platform with the native tooling where possible as possible. From the text of your post, it seems to me that you just want to use Linux. I understand how you feel, yet this feeling is signal but not data.

    Good luck and safe travels, friend.

      Except that it is

      https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker

      Casks and formulas handle basically anything: non-redistributable binaries, installers, etc

      my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it

      Absolutely it… there’s a load of Mac utilities and norms I miss when I use Linux, and visa versa: it’s just different platforms… neither is better; they’re just different

    how do you guys manage to cope with the keyboard layout? the ctrl-super-alt is completely different, even if i just remap them, there will be cases they just dont work like on linux (kitty ctrl-keys, firefox ctrl-tab, etc…) even worse that i use hungarian keylayout and now i use 2 different programs (karabiner, ukulele) to have somewhat similar keys like on linux, but still not perfect …

      the ctrl-super-alt is completely different

      It’s not “completely different” … and that’s the problem. Completely different I can handle. I can manage knowing vim keybindings, readline keybindings and standard windows keybindings at the same time. What I can’t handle is: having to use command + C on one Mac and control + C on Windows to copy, but then in some cases you do use “control” on both OS-es, and sometimes control and alt are switched … It’s because they are similar but different that it’s such a mess trying to get proficient in both at the same time.
