Just got my new MacBook Pro, so I’m in the process of installing everything..
so, Xcode has been installing for over one hour... is this normal ? 🤔

    13 or 15 inches? What's the specs. I want to buy too in the near future 😁

    @Devnergy 13 inches without the touch bar, 8gb of ram, 255ssd and core i5. Very happy with it. I found it so beautiful and the keyboard is a joy to type

    @mc86 I have been on the Mac side since 2012 :p

    Yes. Last time I had to install it it took me almost a whole day (download + install).

    @shellbug it’s finally over. A little more than two hours to download and install. I seriously thought it was stuck

    Still better than windows and visual studio, you’ll throw your laptop out

    Congratulations 😁😁 enjoy it!
    Btw, if u don’t code for Mac OS or iOS, I recommend not using Xcode and just using the command line tools with editors or IDEs of ur choice... it’s faster and a lot more enjoyable to me at least...
    But hey, if it works as u expect and like, more power to u 🤗🤗

    @Electrux I code for iOS using react native, so I have to use it sometimes. And thanks man ! Already see a huge difference in performance compared to my old machine

    @otavio oh cool then... I use MacBook myself and I must say... except for the customization which is not nearly as good as Linux, m way more than satisfied 😍

    @Electrux I don’t care about customization at all. I just want to sit and do my stuff without issues. So for me, it’s the best OS... I looked into other machines but none were able to convince me...

    @otavio for u then, it literally is perfect... just take good care of it 😁

    I usually like to format my iPhone and MacBook once a month or two just to calm my OCD... and i like to start fresh with editor themes, fonts and stuff 😜

    @Electrux oh my, I spent 4 years without formatting my old Mac haha
