MacOS is waaay better for that than iOS though. If you squint a little and try to stick to the CLI, you can pretend it's Linux.

Or, run docker and have actual Linux.

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That docker engine still runs in a small Linux vm.

And the m1, m2, etc chips killed the use of VirtualBox for running full fledged vms :/

UTM will run full fledged linux just fine on Apple Silicon.

Sharing host file systems is still tougher than Virtualbox, but time and adoption will remedy that.

The problem is creating isos and vagrantfiles for the common denominator that can be shared via git and artifactory

Lol I do that too, but that's hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

but that’s hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

Wat?

I just don't get it, have you tried using Linux on desktop or are you just repeating standard phrases about it thinking that sounds normal?

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think you might have thought I was saying "Linux doesn't offer a viable desktop experience." That is not what I'm saying. I've installed Linux distros on all sorts of machines, including Macs, and happily used it as a daily driver.

I'm saying that a Docker container on a Macbook can't offer a viable desktop experience.
