Keep in mind that Docker for Mac runs in a virtual machine, so it is much heavier than running it on Linux.

- skrtskrt 6y agoGood point. I have yet to take the dive into buying or building a Linux workstation for development. Probably very worth it, but I have found the endless fiddling you can do with Linux to really distract me from doing the actual work I turned on the computer to do.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoIt’s not only endless fiddling you can do but occasinally you have to do as well.
- raegis 6y agoThis may not be true at all, depending on the distribution you use. You should ask a Linux user who does work similar to yours. I haven't had to "fiddle" for years, though I probably subconsciously avoid using software/hardware which I suspect may cause trouble.
- raegis 6y agoDebian stable has been my solution to the endless fiddling for over a decade. But it won't work for you if there's some very specific difficult-to-use-with-Linux thingamajig you need.
