brew install iproute2mac

Also docker is not on homebrew, but there is an installer for it (or you can use Orbstack, which also provides docker). Not everything is on brew, some things may have separate installers, but a very quick google search will help you find all of these.

However, journalctl might be not as helpful on mac - you can install it via brew, but it's not really mac-native.

As an OG bearded UNIX person, my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it - do things on the platform with the native tooling where possible as possible. From the text of your post, it seems to me that you just want to use Linux. I understand how you feel, yet this feeling is signal but not data.

Good luck and safe travels, friend.

Except that it is

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker

Casks and formulas handle basically anything: non-redistributable binaries, installers, etc

my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it

Absolutely it… there’s a load of Mac utilities and norms I miss when I use Linux, and visa versa: it’s just different platforms… neither is better; they’re just different

Thanks for the correction, friend. I've personally been using OrbStack.

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
