During my entire life (32 years) I used windows and linux machines. Now I bought my first mac book and I would like to know what tools is nice to have to make my work easy.

I am a developer ruby on rails and use vscode, also I use the terminal a lot and the default terminal is not that great. Also I miss notepad++

Any sugestions?

Thank You

    You can install homebrew packages via brew.sh. It’ll bridge some gaps for you coming from Linux. As for terminal, I like Kitty personally, but iTerm2 is very popular as well. As far as a note pad I like Obsidian for knowledge management. If you’re in the terminal a lot, learning an editor like vim or emacs could make you more productive, or even learning it and installing a vscode plugin that emulates vim keyboard navigation.
