    Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt.

Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

    A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew.
