This is why we can’t have nice things--random reports of things not working are pretty meaningless without context. Yes, it’s fodder to continue to dump on Apple—I get that. But it certainly doesn’t help solve the issue, assuming there’s really an issue in the first place. For the record, I’ve installed htop many dozens of times using Homebrew on a variety of Mac hardware and operating systems over the years and have…

Turns out there’s some kind of build issue with htop; the Homebrew formula has been modified to not install on High Sierra. Here’s what I got when attempting to upgrade; for the record, htop still works fine for me: ==> Upgrading 1 outdated package, with result: htop 2.0.2_1 htop: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS versions newer than Sierra due to an upstream incompatibility. Error…

High Sierra seems like a great OS if you want an unstable workstation that doesn't work with tools you've used everyday for well over a decade.

> This is why we can’t have nice things--random reports of things not working are pretty meaningless without context No they are not. A lot of the same reports with same combination of htop + iTerm should prompt the company to investigate. At least when they are selling $2k "premium" machines. > I’ve installed htop many dozens of times using Homebrew on a variety of Mac hardware Neither did I except since I upgraded…

No they are not. A lot of the same reports with same combination of htop + iTerm should prompt the company to investigate. You don’t know whether or not they’ve investigated this issue or not. There’s a decent chance they have, which might explain why I haven’t had this problem because I’m running a beta of 10.13.3 and nobody else on the GitHub thread is as far as I can see. I also haven’t seen evidence of bug report…

I hit a breaking point with the Apple laptops a couple of years ago. It was actually iTunes that drove me off. iTunes Match somehow corrupted and lost a bunch of my music. Forever gone and I didn't have backups. After working with Support for a while, I finally gave up and bought a new ThinkPad T470s and put Arch Linux on it and never looked back. Things work really well and predictably. I have it dialed in just how…
