After about five years of an Apple hiatus I just couldn’t resist the new M4 MacBook Pro. Naturally, I started adding all the software I could possibly ever need in the whole wide world.
Below are the things I have installed so far.
I’ve been out of the Apple game for quite a while, so help me out. What am I missing out on?
