Lots of small fs operations on macOS is apparently rough.

I use nix on macOS and any time it's making changes to /nix/store, the Finder and fsevents processes peg cpu.

IIRC his video shows fs-heavy ops like file deltions and pnpm install taking much longer on a macbook despite better specs.

Frankly, things like the lack of a universal cmd-c/v clipboard on linux has been 1000x worse for usability than slower bulk fs.
