Why can't macOS do package managers right? It's just like Linux distros: You have way too many and all of them are either mediocre or have too small of a community.>homebrewretarded beer brewing terminology (tap, keg, ...)changes owner and permissions of the installation folder (/usr/local shouldn't be owned by your user)UNFATHOMABLY slow>macportspackage manifests are written in a literal who language (Tcl)lots of packages are either unmaintained or SEVERELY out of dateless slow, but also not as fast>finkdoesn't even support Sonoma, let alone Sequoialast update in 2022otherwise cool (uses dpkg and apt-tools)>pkgsrcnot enough packagesno mac-specific packages (e.g. pinentry-mac)otherwise amazingWhy can't there be a built in way to get common UNIX tools on a UNIX workstation, that just works?

>>102476512apple does not care about any industry standard it does not seteven the version of clang they ship is often missing features from upstream since they ultimately want everyone to use swift for systems programminghomebrew is a mediocre ruby app but it's okay enough to be the defacto standardi think it even leaked once that apple employees use homebrew internally

>>102476393>tfw I will never EVER use macOSI might have to use windows for work at times, but there's literally no reason for me to use apple ever for anything.
package managers are fucking stupid. good thing MS and Apple lets users install programs through a .dmg or .exe
>>102479790You're right! Never EVER use lincucks anon!
>>102476393t. poorfag

>>102476393determinate systems has a macOS installer for nix.
>>102479790I love running a seperate update process for every single application I install>bu- but you can disable auto updatesAnd then I have to be subscribed to an RSS feed and click through dozens of menus just du update the whole thing, great.Instead I could run a cron job that updates my programs automatically, but no that's way too good for macfags and wintards.

>>102480850>Get over yourself>Just use a package manager that takes literal minutes to update its cache>What you actually need to do stuff instead of stare at a spinning beer icon?
>>102476393>homebrew, macports, fink, pkgsrcThese all have nothing to do with macOS>common UNIX toolsmacOS comes with all of those installed, lmao
>>102482551Except that you have download Xcode CLT, which take up no less than 5GB of space, but that besides the point.Does it have gnupg preinstalled? Oh no it doesn'tDoes it have gcc preinstalled? Oh wait something's not rightDoes it have a version of bash that's not 5 years out of date?YWNBPBA (You will never be paid by Apple). Stop trying to shill your iToys for free. You're literally worse than Jannies
