Ask HN: Proper way to setup M1/Silicon Mac?

2 points by HAL9OOO ↗ HN
Anyone find any good resources on setting up a new Silicon/M1 Mac?

Wondering how to setup non-native apps like homebrew, node, vscode, etc.

Preferably in a way that when official support comes out things could be ported to the new official builds? ex: homebrew suggests installing to two different locations

Resources I have found:

So far it's based on ones individual preference. For the devs, make a list of your chosen tools and research. BTW, vscode has a experimental beta (insiders version) available, works great while some extensions might not work.
