Elsewhere in the comments there is a message saying that containers are constant headache under MacOS. Not having used it I can't comment. But containers are a regular part of my work. We have them in production and additionally I use them because I cannot install every required tool / environment to my machine at the same time. In that light the position of the best tool for the job doesn't sound to be undisputed.

icharters is a victim of apple's marketing.

Apple makes decent laptops, and the new m1 machines are not a bad pick. They are absolutely not the best tool for the job unless that job is developing iOS apps.

I have several Docker containers running at any given time with no issues.

I can get Docker working on Mac too, but honestly its much easier and faster on Linux. Might even be better on Windows, too.
