Not OP but it depends entirely on how Linux-y you want your experience to be. I regularly hop between pop, manjaro, and macOS.

Brew is a given, but I also run karabiner elements for key remapping, Yabai+skhd+limelight for windows management, sketchybar as a panel, and Alfred as the run launcher since d-menu for Mac is still in early development.

This gives me some nice consistency between OSs since I use BSPWM+Polybar+Rofi on Linux.

There are several other neat little utilities that could come in handy like bettertouchtool and keyboard maestro for system wide automation with a gui and hammerspoon if you want a lua based automation program.

I personally use hammerspoon to bring up a list of Yabai shortcuts for windows management since I have too many keybindings.

As for dev tools, I use nvim, doom emacs, or VSC so it’s pretty easy to carry my config between OSs.
