If your workflow is heavy on the command-line you'd probably get more value out of Windows with WSL than you would from MacOS... At least then it's Linux everywhere rather than having to remember the differences between GNU coreutils and MacOS coreutils.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but you can also brew install coreutils on macOS.

My point is only that macOS is UNIX. Linux looks a whole lot like UNIX**. But no matter how much you squint, Windows isn't UNIX. Which is completely fine, and everyone is entitled to prefer whatever OS they choose. For me personally, macOS feels familiar. I will always choose Linux if I have the choice, but barring that, I'll take an OS where I can rsync over my .zshrc and .vimrc with minimal shenanigans.

**And in some cases is UNIX

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was UNIX-certified.

But it is. WSL is linux. With most distros available. Macos with coreutils is macos with coreutils.
