    > There's a nice synergy between using Mac and Linux - many of the same scripts, commands, and concepts work identically.

    I switched to a Mac a few months ago from Windows and I kinda hate the small differences with Linux, I like WSL much better. On top of my head,

    - No systemd

    - No native docker

    - No valgrind (there is https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos though)

    I basically have to install a Linux VM on Mac just for this, at which point WSL on Windows is a much better tradeoff IMO.

    There is ongoing work here https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos (and I have a repo that is based on the same changes, and a bit more up do date upstream here https://github.com/paulfloyd/macos_valgrind). Anyone that can help with this is most welcome!
