While I did switch to Linux because Windows 3.11 (or more specifically MS Word) sucked, I never found the need to go back, even back then. So there's that.

I use Linux because Docker doesn't run natively on Macs.

I don't give a shit about our relation because I have a life.

It's available in homebrew though

Do you not use homebrew on macos?

Yes I do but how does the install method change the fact that Docker containers cannot run without a virtualisation layer like they do on Linux?

Docker on macos runs in a virtual machine, for some people that might not be desirable.

I disagree. In a business environment it is actually really good, or at least was pre-Azure. I dislike that they are trying to push people to Azure instead of on-prem.

For home use it's been pretty poor since Windows 8 and seems to be turning to shit since Windows 11.

Windows 11 did one good for me though. It's been enough to push me to properly give Linux a try again. Proton has been a major step forward as gaming has been the main reason I never stuck. I'm currently spending more time in Arch (btw) than Windows.
