    From Errol Casey@1337:3/194 to All on Tuesday, April 01, 2025 07:00:48
    I just got a MBP for work. Was wondering what folks favorite software is.

    It has been about 4 years since I've had a MBP, so I'm sure there are a few new products out there.

    Appreciate any feedback.

    Howdy,

    Docker Desktop - Container software

    FWIW, I used to use Docker Desktop as well - used it for a few years, until they changed their license. I use a corporate laptop for work and didnt want to confuse anybody around usage and licensing.

    I discovered orb - IMHO its way better than Docker Desktop (I noticed it was faster), and it has a couple of other features that I use (easy to exchange files with containers, and the ability to run VMs as well as containers).

    Thought I'd share in case you are not aware of it...

    Thanks Deon, I had not heard of orb. I'll check it out.

    Thanks Paulie for the list, that is what I was looking for.

    Some apps I have found useful so far are:
    Maccy - Clipboard manager
    MacPass - Keepass compatible password safe
    Homebrew - Must have linux tools :-)
    iterm2 - ssh client

    FWIW, I used to use Docker Desktop as well - used it for a few years, until they changed their license. I use a corporate laptop for work and didnt want to confuse anybody around usage and licensing.

    So... on all my other systems, aside from MacOS, I just use Docker CLI and portainer (for bigger systems)...

    I discovered orb - IMHO its way better than Docker Desktop (I noticed it was faster), and it has a couple of other features that I use (easy to exchange files with containers, and the ability to run VMs as well as containers).

    Hmmmm - whats this??? I hate that I have to install Docker Desktop on MacOS... haven't heard of Orb at all - but will take a peek!

    Thanks.

    Homebrew - Must have linux tools :-)

    I use brew.sh.

    iterm2 - ssh client

    Check out Warp Terminal - its flipping nuts and much better than iterm2 IMO... :P

    Thank you much - this looks like a smarter solution for Apple hardware... gonna be hard suggesting it to OTHERS, but I appreciate this over the stupid Docker Desktop joint.... thanks Deon. :P
