macOS and Linux are both POSIX-compatible operating systems. I guess I’m unclear on why you’d need to run a Linux VM with full filesystem access, when the tools can be installed on macOS itself the filesystem is just the filesystem. It seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity for most standard use cases.

You’re responding to a thread where op literally said they only want Linux and telling them they shouldn’t want Linux. Why even respond to the thread?

Nobody is confused about what macos is in 2026, this isn’t about education, it’s about preference.
