Well, yeah gaming obviously single handedly necessitates carrying around a second computer - which is a shame given M4 MBP laptops benchmark around the same levels as mid range desktop graphics hardware.

Otherwise it's little things like the lack of containerization support, poor tooling (gnu vs ancient bsd tooling). Brew is an _okay_ package manager but a far cry from anything on Linux. Support for things like FUSE. You have to buy utilities for basic things like window management, and also Finder is the worst file explorer I've ever used. Building applications targeting MacOS is also a joke.

If you're just doing basic web development, it's about as good as Windows (not that bad), but you run into lots of oddities that you need to fix (again, much like Windows)
