Ignoring prices, Mac is definitely the second best option after Linux for Linux-y development flows. None of my issues were huge, but still enough to ask for a Linux laptop for a replacement.

  1. Very little customization, compared to Linux. I'm talking horizontal tiling window managers like Niri
  2. Docker does not run natively, so you pay a hefty performance penalty with the VM
  3. File name case insensitivity caused a bunch of Git issues

Fair enough. I do run my docker containers in a real Linux, either homelab or EC2.
