Homebrew starts from the MacOS CLI apps provided through XCode. It's a usermode package manager built on top of XCode components. MacPorts builds everything from scratch, which grants more power and optimization opportunities, but comes with many, many more rough configuration edges to deal with. The optimization opportunities for some packages are typically on the order of 2x-5x faster, which isn't enough to deal wi…

As mentioned in the epilogue regarding single monitors, I feel that Apple was a little too silent regarding that limitation. It also caught me off guard especially as I purchased the LG 4K thunderbolt/usb-c monitors from the Apple website with the hope of connecting everything via daisy chain.
