From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just run whatever linux I want in a hypervisor and make it my daily driver for everything other that teams calls... (I can't seem to make Linux do any echo cancellation). The mac just can't do the basics I need on its own, it's workflow nightmare. Short of pains of being on an ARM64 CPU, the VM does pretty well. Started off using UTM, then switched to Parallels. It's not always perfect, but it is SO much better that straight up MacOS.
