Interesting. I have thought that it would be cool to run all terminal commands either in a linux vm when I'm on macos, or even better in container(s). I don't know if there is anything like that already, or if it's even useful. What do hn people think?

On my Windows desktop, I work in a FreeBSD VM. With an X11 terminal (st) forwarded to VcXsrv via putty. GUI apps work seamlessly. I wrote a tiny PowerShell script to manage that stuff https://github.com/myfreeweb/xvmmgr

What kind of terminal commands are you usually running?

Most of my terminal usage (like moving things around on the hard drive, updating the system, managing Docker containers and editing config files) would have no sense to do in a virtual machine.

What terminal commands are you running on Linux that don't run on macOS?

perhaps state what you actually hope to achieve in doing this rather than run native in macOS?
