Technically the "Linux on Mac" is Unix based and not Linux, but I agree the dev experience is nicer on my Mac than Windows given the choice. Also rather than docker you can use the WSL stuff on Windows for a much closer to normal Linux dev setup (with a few weird edges).
I end up regularly using all three OSes, so it's helpful you can finally get a serviceable dev environment on any of the common non-mobile OSes now.
I meant using a linux VM to run docker (With Rancher Desktop).
WSL started eating RAM like if there's was no tomorrow for no reason, even when idle. And considering we had to run memory and cpu intensive tasks, that was a big problem. Several colleges saw the same issue and we all ended up moving to Mac for that reason (well, some of them just because "shiny").
Oh yeah, I'd say Windows in general just chomps through RAM, but there has been some times that WSL takes it to chrome-like levels
