I'm surprised that anyone has to ask, anymore:

- Locked, proprietary bootloader with no guaranteed Linux support

- No official Vulkan drivers, DXVK broken without downstream patches (unlike every other GPU I own)

- Every Docker solution runs worse than WSL (somehow)

- macOS is ad-ridden and genuinely intolerable

- APFS is borderline useless relative to EXT4 and NTFS, doubly so if you collaborate at work

So, gaming and x64 native docker?

I presume collaboration at work means some sort of remote mounting of filesystems -- is `brew install samba` bad in some way?

Re: ads - this is genuinely my complaint with Windows, but I thought I was getting a pretty ad-free experience in Mac, what am I missing?

What I get from this is a description of how it is locked down, but not really an explanation of what you wish to do but cannot.

.. macOS is ad-ridden? perhaps I'm already brain broken, but beyond like a few ads for icloud pro for time machine or whatever when I'm already poking around in relavent settings, I never see ads. it feels extremely unobtrusive. the other points are not relevant to me, so I suppose it makes sense why I don't care, but iirc apple's `container` OCI runner is highly optimized for the M series, did you have significant issues with it?
