macOS is a capable UNIX, but it's not Linux - which has since become the standard platform for most cloud/web/ML development.

As a developer myself who uses Fedora Asahi Remix as my daily driver, I can also tell you that Linux runs 2x faster (often much more) for everything compared to macOS - on the same hardware! And that performance gain is also important for my work :-)

Totally, I have a mini forums pc that runs void linux that I ssh into from my MB air. My worry is hitching your wagon to a project that could stop working one day through no fault of the devs.
