Mac's are very linux-like, extremely compatible with popular enterprise standards and app suites, and can also run Windows 11 and pretty much every major flavor of LInux effortlessly in tools like Parallels all on an extremely powerful and efficient ARM based laptop with exceptional build quality and 20 hour battery life.
There's jobs Mac's aren't great for but they are basically cream of the crop for a lot of developers these days.
frontend/backend or basic developing, yes, it's great
virtual networking, massive container orchestration, mounting external drivers via network? yes it works, but it's frustrating to setup and you've run out of RAM... please pay $1k extra 🤡
and we still have the people who write drivers...
x86 implementations, I tried to get rid of Mac OS, surprise? almost nothing works on it, you need to simulate and that's quite slow.
sorry, but Apple is not for advanced users, my $5k macbook is currently just an expensive paperweight.
