I miss Linux, it respected me in ways that MacOS doesn't. But maintaining a sane dev environment on linux when my co-workers on MacOS are committing bash scripts that call brew... I am glad that I gave up that fight. And yeah, the hardware sure is nice.

IIRC brew supports linux, but it isn't a package manager I pay attention to outside of some very basic needs. Way too much supply chain security domain to cover for it!

It does, but I prefer to keep project dependencies bound to that project rather than installing them at wider scope. So I guess it's not that I can't use Linux for work, but that I can't use Linux for work and have it my way.
I could use a VM or something, but if I must tolerate some kind of enclosing boundary, it might as well just be a MacBook.
