Wanted: a "diff" tool that tells me how my operating system currently deviates from the default state once freshly installed. I don't want to start clean and reinstall the things I like, I want to remove only the things that I don't like.
@staltz my variation: I want to describe my Mac configuration under source control. Think of it as Docker, but for my Mac.
I know: it’ll never happen.
@scouten @staltz Not a "diff", you have to install things its way, but that is the goal of #nix the package manager, which works on both Linux and Mac. https://nixos.org/
