Really I find the exact opposite issue. Way to many things have started to differ between Mac and Linux for Mac to be of any real value. It's actually a negative in a lot of ways because it's close enough to trick you.
I've had to switch to just native linux but when I don't have my work laptop WSL works perfectly for all our tests while Mac fails.
- jwells89 3y agoPart of this is that a lot of things have become a lot more tightly coupled with Linux in the past couple decades. OS X Snow Leopard, often positioned as the “best” macOS release, also had a number of significant differences from Linux, but those differences were more frequently accounted for in software.
- wtallis 3y agoHistorically, a lot of it was simply Linux vs BSD differences, but nowadays there's a growing gap from Apple's unwillingness to ship any GPL3 code, leaving them with some tools either stuck in time or replaced with alternatives.
