I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, and I say this as a Mac fan, but your 3 commands are:

  - Install a whole IDE, so you can...
  - Install an unofficial package managar, so you can...
  - Install coreutils

"sudo xcode-select --install" doesn't install the whole IDE, just some cli tools.

I thought the reason everyone loved Linux was because you could mix and match components and choose what fits for you. But suddenly "an unofficial package manager" is out of bounds?

'xcode-select --install' literally just installs the developer command line utilities, not an IDE.

Xcode, the IDE, is a separate download on the App Store.
