[hosh]

I build production Kubernetes and cloud infra for work. When I run Kubernetes locally, it is because I am developing operators or manifests for application workloads. Kubernetes is not the “value add” for my dev workflow, it is literally what I am developing.

I have run Linux laptops before. After running it for five years, I came to the conclusion that it did not make a good laptop for my use-case. Poor suspend-resume support, poor wireless networking support means I can not just pick and go. (And no one has yet to replicate Apple’s trackpad experience). So yes, I run Apple laptop with MacOS and use my TUI tools, sometimes with Linux running in an VM, sometime remotely to a full headless VM with my full dev suite via mosh because I use cli and TUI for dev.

Your turn. You still have not defined “poor man’s Linux”.
