This is why I like macOS so much. I understand that it's not the same as having Ubuntu in WSL, but using the Mac terminal is so close to the experience I have when I SSH into my Ubuntu box that it's nearly 1:1 for me.

macOS is not perfect. Brew is inferior to apt-get (which WSL2 offers), and Docker needs virtualization in macOS as well. Windows + WSL2 is a strong competitor for the Unix experience on Mac, and sometimes even better (because it is actual Linux and not just a POSIX-compliant Unix terminal).

Oh, blessed are those who never had to deal with the assumption that every shell is bash despite using /bin/sh in shebangs of their scripts, or with the assumption that all core utilities (like find or grep) are of the GNU flavor.

Ignorant they are, yet their ignorance is a bliss.
