Ricing MacOS (Pranav’s Version)

Making macOS my own machine

• I want to deeply understand most of the technologies that I’m using
• Get a mastery in using the tools and get better at picking the tools I want to use
• Humans tend to accept and use anything, any machine. I want to make my macbook my own, for that I have to mold the machine to my wants, not mere needs.

End Goals

• Have a proper nix-darwin setup so that it’s reproducible when I switch to a new macbook
• make use of nushell properly and get most work done the easily
• use helix motions in the daily driver text editor
