 # Diving into macOS
 
-After spending nearly 15 years working with Windows and 8 years on
-Linux, I have experienced macOS for the first time. By chance, my spouse
-happened to buy a new MacBook and gifted me their 2013 model. Of course,
-I still consider my Linux desktop to be my daily driver and keep Windows
-around for gaming needs, but over the past week I\'ve found myself using
-the MacBook more and more for things that don\'t require gaming specs or
-advanced dev tools.

 # Initial Thoughts
 
-Before I move on to the technical aspects of my set-up, I want to take
-some time and express my thoughts on the overall OS.

-As expected, the initial computer setup is a breeze with Mac\'s guided
-GUI installer.
-
-The desktop itself reminds me of GNOME more than anything else I\'ve
-seen: even Pantheon from [ElementaryOS](https://elementary.io/), which
-people commonly refer to as the closest Linux distro to macOS. The
-desktop toolbar is great and far surpasses the utility of the GNOME
-toolbar due to the fact that the extensions and icons *actually work*. I
-launch macOS and immediately see my shortcuts for Tresorit, Bitwarden,
-and Mullvad pop up as the computer loads.
-
-Even further, the app dock is very useful and will be yet another
-familiarity for GNOME users. I know many people like panels instead of
-docks, but I\'ve always found docks to have a more pleasing UI. However,
-I had to disable the \"Show recent applications in Dock\" preference; I
-can\'t stand items taking up precious screen space if I\'m not currently
-using them. On that same note, it\'s taking me some time to get use to
-the fact that I have to manually quit an app or else it will still stay
-open/active in the dock, even if I\'ve closed out all windows for that
-app (e.g. Firefox).
-
-Overall, I\'m having a lot of fun and for users who spend a large
-majority of their time performing basic tasks like web browsing,
-writing, watching media, etc., macOS is a fantastic option.

-Luckily, macOS hasn\'t completely hidden away the development tools from
-the average user. You can easily find the Terminal app in the Launchpad
-area, but it\'s probably not what you\'re used to. I was surprised (and
-happy) to see that the default shell is `zsh`, the shell I
-use on all of my Linux distros. However, the commands are not the same -
-even the ones you may think are native to the shell. Commands like
-`dir` do not exist, so other native commands like
-`ls -la` or `pwd` are more useful here.
