First two things to install are iterm which is a really nice terminal (I mean really nice - better than anything on Linux) and brew which is your are apt-get (inferior) stand in.Īssuming everything you need for college will run on it, you should be fine. You'll have zsh (bash descendent) but there's a lot missing so be prepared to rebuild most of that. Leaving Ubuntu for Mac (Probably) - A rantīe aware the you will NOT have a full command line experience like you are used to on Ubuntu and it's ilk.

Fortunately the main applications I show are browser. With other applications it can be a mix of using the macOS screen zoom, or just not having a very readable interface. This is generally only possible with browser windows or Electron-based applications (which I typically dislike, but in this case brings a positive).

My hardware and software for audio and video productionĪt simplest I increase the zoom level of windows to about 125-150% depending on how they look.

Check out their Features page to see what the fuss is about, but the nice. This is always the first thing that I install on any Macbook that I know I'll be using, because I just like the feel, customization, and mobility that iTerm provides over native Terminal. Gosh, I don't know if I could live without iTerm2, because it's window and session management is leagues above the normal OSX Terminal.

Along with it, you should get Zsh and OhMyZsh.

Setting up MacBook Air M1 for programming? iTerm2 is excellent.
