Me, when my new job forces macos for development - Lemmy Today

- ip 💥 uhhhggghhh - awk 💥 uhhhggghhh - sed 💥 uhhhggghhh - grep 💥 uhhhggghhh - journalctl 💥 uhhhggghhh - brew install docker? Nope! 💥 uhhhggghhh Having to maintain TWO build chains and deal with all the extra tooling and complexity 💥💥💥💥💥💥 uhhhggghhh

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, 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 ke 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.

Also docker is not on homebrew

Except that it is

formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker

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

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

docker

Homebrew’s package index

Thanks for the correction, friend. I've personally been using OrbStack.
