Re:OpenBSD/arm64 on Apple M1 systems by bogeholm on Sunday March 20, 2022 @04:20AM (#30741037)
I develop data engineering/science applications at $BIGCORP daily on a Mac, targeting Linux instances on AWS. What I like:

- It’s UNIX, and has been since Snow Leopard, that makes some development tasks easier. YMMV

- I like the UI (personal preference)

- MS Office stuff is native

- I’ve heard the fan on my M1 box twice in a year

- Can run x86 Docker images via emulation, usually seamlessly

Docker is running in a Linux VM of course on a Mac, so there’s a slight performance hit.

Even all the SIP stuff doesn’t get in the way, in my experience.
