That’s not true at all. Have you actually used one? Edit: obviously if you need a windows vm you’re out of luck at 8gb ram

  You’re out of luck if you need docker. M1 Macs would make fantastic Linux laptops, because macOS is appallingly bad at backend development. It makes it up in sheer hardware power and efficiency, otherwise I’d be completely at loss why it’s so loved.

    > macOS is appallingly bad at backend development That's news to me. In what way are they bad compared to Linux? Both can run docker, Intellij, Insomnia and Dbeaver.

      The main thing is Docker requires emulation
      • aembleton 3y ago
        True although if you develop for arm then you can use virtualisation. Still, performance wise I've not noticed any impact.

    Docker runs fine... Both x64 and arm64 containers run

      It requires a full VM. macOS is the only OS with that requirement.
      • hdjfkfbfbr 3y ago
        And? It still runs fine.

          It works. It doesn’t work fine. It breaks, sometimes in a way you need to manually clean it up.
