   But it’s still a chore to install the necessary development packages.   
   HomeBrew does its best, but it’s still a poor second to properly

   “Unix” is just a trademark. Linux is technically not “Unix”, but it is   
   how a system is supposed to work when people think of the term “Unix”.   
   Apple can’t match that.
