The feature page for Codespaces reads less like an IDE enhancement and more like “docker doesn’t work well on MacOS so just code in a browser so we can spin up a local environment quicker”.

Or I don’t know, maybe try using a Linux laptop instead.

This is an underrated, excellent option, especially for solo devs and small shops.

Or run a Linux VM in Parallels Pro with startup-on-login, shared networking, and port forwarding.

In my opinion, Apple should build a virtualized Linux dev environment into macOS (a sort of Linux Subsystem for Mac). That would be so helpful... or Microsoft could build a Linux distro with a next-gen window manager and full support for Windows apps. Either way and I'd be all-in.
