> 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.
I find it's not possible to do serious C/C++ coding on latest macOS
