bingo. I use docker to run ALL dependencies for ALL the stuff I develop as a way to be able to really cleanly keep stuff organized, and avoid having to figure out how to totally purge random installs of postgres/etc.. from my system. I also run a couple things 24/7 in docker: e.g. pihole A huge slowdown or hugely increased CPU usage (and its not good as-is) for running stuff in docker is a non-starter for me. If thats how it works out, that would be the nudge I need to seriously investigate a linux laptop.

If organization is your goal, I'd recommend Nix over Docker. You can separate packages without having to maintain tons of separate containers.

  "ah, you've got a problem? BUT: what if you get yourself into this completely different set of problems?" jokes aside: the problem being discussed here is not organization, is running docker containers (with linux binaries inside) on mac os, on x86-64 today and arm tomorrow.

    The parent commenter quite clearly talks about using Docker to "keep stuff organized," so no, I wasn't talking about a "completely different set of problems." I'd also like to add that the parent commenter hasn't mentioned the need to run x86 binaries. You obviously don't need to run x86 pi-hole on an arm device.

    Except macOS isn't Linux, so that is the problem right there.
