What programs are there out there!?
I'm buying a used Macbook pro for my work. I had planned to download all my programs now while I had sometime. To my dismay, nearly everything I tried to download didn't have a Mac Version. Having not owned a Mac since the G3 days and being a Windows guy I have zero knowledge of the OSX ecosystem.
What programs should I be downloading, what do you guys use, what are your go to apps?

Hwmonitor is available may be you have to build on yourself
Word processor :- free apple pages (but shithole)
Using Microsoft office (torrent)

qbittorrent
>youtube downloader
install latest version of python, open command line and type pip install youtube_dl. download video by typing youtube-dl or youtube-dl -x in command line.
>hw monitoring
that i cannot answer because i don't own a mac and never had one. i know that before mentioned software has mac ports so you might wanna check it out.
also, do your own research next time, faggot.
Pages is free? I remeber paying $60 for that back in the day
Word processor is libreoffice or OpenOffice.
Torrenting is Transmission.
YouTube downloaded is youtube-do, which you can download using Homebrew.
Hw monitoring I just use the system activity tool which comes on macOS for free.
Other stuff - what do you need? Download Xcode for Unix tools, Firefox for browsing (safari is better for battery life but Firefox is better otherwise), Spotify or whatever for music, VLC for multimedia...
If you use the web for procrastinating, SelfControl is a great tool that will blacklist or whitelist websites/domains for a set period of time - won’t stop operating until the timer is up, great for blocks of solid work without going on Facebook or whatever.
**youtube-dl, as others have said
So I am required to use one for work and have opted to buy uses as not to give Apple my money
What the hell is Homebrew?
Yes, is free
One software that I rarely see mention here is PopClip, is on the App Store.
It gives you a pop menu ones you highlight a word with options to google, copy/parte, look up in the dictionary, etc.
Really useful.
Package manager. Similar to apt, pacman, yum, etc.
>macs fan control
Install Gentoo
>I use adobe mostly for work
lmao
enjoy losing 80% speed
install the brew package manager for your open source needs: youtube-dl, ... (GUI for brew is available with CakeBrew)
- security software by objective-see (Patrick Wardle): BlockBlock, RandomWhere
- Transmission for torrent
- MacsFanControl
- KeepingYouAwake
- GPGSuite for Mail
Proprietary:
- Fantastical Calendar
- Reeder for RSS
- IINA for media playback
- Textual for IRC
- BetterSnapTool to snap windows and do other shit
- AppCleaner
- 1Password (or some KeePass implementation) as password manager
- LittleSnitch as a outward firewall (better wait for Patrick Wardle's free implementation of this)
>torrent, youtube downloader
So this is what you need on your work laptop?
Stop wasting threads and just buy the cheapest Acer and install LibreOffice on it.
Libre office, transmission, youtube-dl
