Do you linux in your mac?

So recently i have this temptation to use linux. But i have macbook so thinking to use vm for that. If you’re already using it this way, is it good enough for your day to day works?

OSX is unix based so pretty much whatever you can do with linux can be done in mac. I run kali on a vm and with a little of tinkering you can get everything to work. One of my devops friend has configured his osx with all the tools available on boot in kali and uses OSX for all hack the box practices, so i am pretty sure it can be done.

That’s some interesting stuff. I mostly will use for web dev stuff. Although osx is enough for that but still i like diy stuff in linux.

Osx gives you a pretty UI so you dont have to DIY but you can still do it just for fun.

Mac or Linux

Would he joining a new office, client is very fast paced. I have till now worked on windows system only. They are providing either Linux or Mac. I will need to get myself accustomed to these new systems and then work. Which one shall I choose. Tech stack :- Nodejs, Express, Cloud aws, docker, Redis etc. I don't want that my performance get hampered wither coz of not knowing the system or taking too much time to learn it. Folks, Please suggest me which one to choose.

Should I buy a Windows (I'll dual boot with Linux) or Macbook?

I currently use a Windows laptop dual boot with Ubuntu. I use windows only and only for gaming, which I haven't done for 6 months cuz I don't find the time anymore with work and few other hobbies (reading mainly). I also sometimes love to fiddle around on Photoshop, premiere pro etc. Thinking of buying a new laptop sometime soon. Since I haven't been finding the time to game anyways, I was thinking should I just buy a MacBook then? People say it's better for developers and it definitely has a classy vibe and sexy sleek look windows, especially gaming laptops, lack. I have heard photoshop and premiere pro cracks are available on Mac too. Battery life is also so much better. I see 2 disadvantages though, because of which I'm unable to decide. What if I do start finding time to game again? I was thinking in that case I could keep upgrading my present gaming laptop as it is still pretty good. Is that feasible solution? Or maybe if earn more, keep another laptop dedicated to gaming. I don't game often, but whenever something like control elden ring etc comes out, I do play and finish over a period of time. Is Mac as customisable as Linux? I'm no arch level customizer btw, just usual ubuntu lover, so weigh accordingly.
