It means you better think about buying a thinkpad.

I moved to an X1 2 years ago when I refused to get the new keyboard and my 2013 MBP was on the way out, very happy to have Linux as the native OS for dev work, but I don't love the added time I do have to spend maintaining my own OS now.

Also slack and zoom for linux suck :(

Docker runs on Arm chips.

[kjksf]

Yes, but Docker on ARM won't run your x86 containers.

Docker can run a different OS but not a different arch.

The point of Docker is kind of having the exactly same thing here and there.

With Docker, I can compile, run, test and debug my backend service on Windows or Mac and deploy to Linux, knowing that I ran and tested the exact same binary.

If you deploy on x86 (as you do), having ARM Docker doesn't help you much.

Good point!

but the image you want to run in it might not.

why can't I upvote you twice?

[mattbillenstein]

Most of my snark gets downvoted, so the one upvote is sufficient - thx!

[znpy]

indeed, my comment was downvoted four times. WORTH IT.
