Hey! As part of the onboarding process at my new job I booted a Mac for the first time in my life. Everything feels strange and I was looking for tips to make it feel like gnome (pun intended).

I have been using Linux for the past 15+ years, I am a software engineer, so any development specific would be really appreciated.

One important issue I am facing is installing xcode without creating an apple account or generally doing anything without one. I really don’t want to give my personal information to apple if I can avoid it…
