@MichaelTBacon @mhoye the thing is, though, as I use my newer ipad pro mainly, because my macbook is from 2015 and I cannot afford a new one, Apple makes it difficult to just use your computer your way. And quite a few linux distros do it now too. Look, I don't want a Nanny telling me what software I should install and from where. Gatekeeper on Apple gear is the most egregious and anti-freedom bit of code I've seen in years.

@csgraves @mhoye I have never loved how restricted Apple is with their OSes, but the fact is they work very, very hard to get the unnecessary bits out of the way and most people are quite happy with that. I just wish they would stash those bits somewhere that I can uncover and fiddle with them.
I switched when OS X came out and I could get a bash shell, but as the QP says above, I'm an odd ball on that front.
