emacs on macos tips? (alien.top)

I'm seriously considering buying an M2 MacBook, after over 20 years on Linux. My main concern is whether it will be difficult to set up Emacs after such a long-term investment in my init files. I would love to hear from others who have made the same transition -- was it hard? Do you have tips to make it easier?

Thanks in advance!

I use the same configuration shared between MacBook M2 and Linux without any issues. Simply install homebrew on macOS, that will provide any additional tool you might need and directly allows to install emacs.
