The problem of course being that x86 linux on laptops is still and might always be terrible. Using an ARM Mac to develop your backend services is not ideal but probably still a better user experience than the 0.01% where a modern language does something vastly different on your local machine than in production (which is btw also very often ARM these days, at least on AWS).

I've used Ubuntu, WSL2 and currently a M1 mac and if I need to be mobile AT ALL with the machine I chose a Mac any day. For a desktop computer Ubuntu works great though
