My favorite package managers, personally:

xbps

apk (terrible interface; wonderful technically)

pacman (wonderful interface; so-so technically; dislike the distro that uses it because of technical choices)

InstallPackage (GoboLinux is kind of cheating, because InstallPackage isn't a "real" package manager, but that's kind of the point)

I love TextMate, too! Something you might find nice is how easy it is to run Mac in a VM on Linux; there are scripts that manage the entire thing for you, and it's pretty painless (and so fast; I was surprised). Useful if you have a few packages you can't find replacements for.

You mention Apple Music elsewhere, which you might be interested to know has an Android client and a web client, and you can probably get a native client on Linux, though I'm not immediately aware of one.

That would be excellent! I like the idea of swapping host and guest with this VM strategy, sort of evolutionary platform switching.


Take a look at this! It's pretty simple; it just fetches macOS and then gives you a shell script that launches qemu with a few flags:

Really, really fast, and fairly painless.


It's fetching the disk image right now. Gold... Thank you!


..and it works, high sierra, is back!
