# Ovid 💻

### Notes

11/23/21 - Picked him up from the Apple Store. Moved my old laptop so that I could share the screen for referencing configuration. Booted her up and loaded up activity monitor and command line top to watch the processes. I always avoid using the migration assistant so that I can start clean. My main goal is to keep the machine as minimal and simple as possible. I am going to try and avoid running any x86 processes under Rosetta in my attempt to go fully ARM. I wrote a quick post about why I purchased it and why I named it Ovid @ [https://davidawindham.com/ovid](https://davidawindham.com/ovid) and I'll document the rest of the it here.

### Languages

Apple is removing languages from the OS via [Xcode 11 release notes](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-11-release-notes): "Scripting language runtimes such as Python, Ruby, and Perl are included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. In future versions of macOS, scripting language runtimes won’t be available by default, and may require you to install an additional package."
