> because the company had done a half-arsed job with the fs layer Exactly. And I know Mac reigns in dev land. Just the moment Docker comes around (and it does quite a bit lately) all those shiny (and that's a compliment) pieces of hardware become heated vacuum cleaners. I'm not saying "lol, Mac is teh suck" (what you apparently want to read). I'm saying: here's something that my Linux laptop wins at. Docker. You come across rather angry, even saying that Linus uses Apple hardware without running the macOS... How does that work as an argument against my experience?

>You come across rather angry Nah, just replying to the rather snarky? "Thankfully there is Docker on Mac: how would my colleagues with shiny laptops get work done otherwise?" >I'm not saying "lol, Mac is teh suck" (what you apparently want to read). I'm saying: here's something that my Linux laptop wins at. Docker. Well, sure. There are other things a Linux laptop wins at. Tinkerability for example, part replacements, etc. >even saying that Linus uses Apple hardware without running the macOS... How does that work as an argument against my experience? It works as an argument that it's not something merely "shiny", but a good piece of hardware for a par excellence technical user.

  > Thankfully there is Docker on Mac: how would my colleagues with shiny laptops get work done otherwise? Nope. I replied to someone saying Docker on Mac is a joke, and I agreed saying: one of the last points where using Linux compared to Mac is advantageous. Saying Macs are shiny is a compliment. You took it as snarky, but it wasn't (before the new keyboards I preferred --and owned-- Macs).

  And the "You come across rather angry" was such a good touch.

> I'm saying: here's something that my Linux laptop wins at. Docker. No shit. It’s running the same kernel. Docker on MacOS requires full virtualisation, which is a lot more overhead.
