macOS

macOS is incredible as a personal OS. Would love to join Apple and contribute to the OS at some point. Karabiner is life changing. I did a course on macOS's many tools I love.

Quill is great for signing binaries for macOS.

Clean install

You can clean install by going to Recovery mode (restart with cmd+r pressed). Then Disk Utility > Select disk > Erase (Format it) > Close Disk Utility > Select option Reinstall MacOS (Choose macOS ver. to install).
