I switched to a Mac a few months ago from Windows and I kinda hate the small differences with Linux, I like WSL much better. On top of my head,
- No systemd
- No native docker
- No valgrind (there is https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos though)
I basically have to install a Linux VM on Mac just for this, at which point WSL on Windows is a much better tradeoff IMO.
- FredPret 3y agoI'm not super familiar with WSL; does it allow you full access to all your files, or is it a fenced-off environment? On my Mac I have various cronjobs and scripts running that work copy-paste the same as on a real server. I even have Nginx serving static files for local development!
