  • Macbook for programming/coding
    Pretty much a premium linux experience out of the box, also things like Quicklook make it easy to instantaneously view a ton of files without even opening apps from documents to media files.

  • ActiveDock 2 / DockView for Apple Silicon (M1)
    Hi, I recently announced a universal ActiveDock build that runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel. Unfortunately, several users reported problems ...
