The M1 Mac is phenomenal (programmer's perspective)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/MacOS

Our great sponsors
  • PopRuby - Clothing and Accessories for Ruby Developers
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • multipass

    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

    For Linux VMs (Ubuntu in particolar) try Canonical's Multipass. Apple Silicon support is currently in beta using QEMU with Hypervisor.framework under the hood and I have to say that the experience is really good.

  • code-server

    Non-root Docker image running Debian and code-server. (by demyxsh)

    When the M1 first came out, I didn't have to transition at all since I've been developing on my server via the web browser https://github.com/demyxco/code-server/blob/master/screenshot.png

  • PopRuby

    PopRuby: Clothing and Accessories for Ruby Developers. Fashion meets Ruby! Shop our fun Ruby-inspired apparel and accessories designed to celebrate the joy and diversity of the Ruby community.

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    If you install brew (https://brew.sh) and you do brew install coreutils you'll have everything you're looking for.

  • I decided to do a little Docker to see how the experience was. I updated one of my projects to add an x86 Linux cross compile. Nothing too exciting: https://gitlab.com/ttyperacer/terminal-typeracer/-/blob/master/build-all.sh
