This post was only half in jest. I mean, why would you choose to buy an expensive dev machine where basic dev things like docker and nix have issues, you don't get access to a large chunk of the massive linux ecosystem, and give up on compatibility between the production environment (almost certainly Linux) and your dev env.

And on top of that you can't even customize things your way, or try a different DE or distro, or decide what runs on your own hardware, and where basic OS functionality requires paying even more money,

All the while contributing to making the richest corporation on earth richer,

But it's pretty I guess.
