Fair point — didn't know about the PPC Open Firmware connection. Name's sticking for now, but good to know people might confuse it. Appreciate the heads up.

Nix-Darwin is the right call if you're willing to invest the upfront time. Genuinely more powerful.

OpenBoot is for whoever looks at step 4 and nopes out. Different crowd.

How long before the config felt natural to you?

Hey HN, creator here.

Tired of the 3-hour new Mac ritual. Brewfile only covers packages — OpenBoot handles the whole stack: packages, dotfiles, shell, macOS prefs, git identity.

Killer feature turned out to be `openboot snapshot` — captures your setup as a shareable URL, team clones it with one command.

Go + Bubble Tea, MIT, zero telemetry.

What do you use to solve this? Brewfile? nix-darwin? What am I missing?
