I expected it to be an issue but I’ve had surprisingly few problems so far. If you’re working in docker-land or can use devcontainers, it just works. If you’re not but your stack is well supported by homebrew, also not a problem. Anything else you can handle via a distrobox container, where you can install from package managers to your heart’s content, and they have good integration with the base OS, but I’ve had to reach for distrobox a lot less than I expected.

Interesting, thanks! Out of curoisity would you (or anyone else) mind sharing some details about which stacks you work on? And have you done any GTK or linux native apps?

I do a decent amount of GTK and occasionaly Qt, and wonder if there's any extra friction for that
