Greetings. I’m not sure if should ask this here or on a MacOS specific community, mods feel free to remove this post if necessary.

Basically I’m getting a new SRE job. At my current (future ex) SRE job, i had all the freedom to have a Archlinux KDE workstation, that is incredibly comfortable to use as i’m also dailying it on my personal workstation.

However this new company gave me the workstation choice between either a Windows machine without WSL (yes i know), either a Macbook m4. (Edit for clarity : i cannot change the OS because of central management software)

I chose the macbook for the battery life and being able to keep it at least Unix (with zsh always on hand), but i have no prior experience on using mac os.

What are the various software that you would recommend to a KDE user to have on its mac ? I know only about brew.sh the new apple container thingy, and some various fan control app. Is there a way to have Dophin as file manager, or something similar ? (IE a file manager with an integrated folder-following terminal ? General tips and tricks you may want to share?

Thank you for your attention and have a great day

    Honestly, you might have been better choosing Windows. I use all three for work and MacOS is more like an iPad nowadays.
