Between homebrew and nix, the amount of foss macs can run out of the box is pretty close to some generic Ubuntu (nixpkgs is technically the largest repo out there, but not all of the nixpkgs are available on mac).
And that's just regarding stuff that's distributed pre-built with a package manager. Truth is, if you're down to build stuff from source, you can just follow the Linux guide and everything will work right out of the box far more often than not.
