Not sure whether you know something I don't but I'm not aware of any VM when I'm running Docker containers directly on my Mac?
Docker machine uses qemu to make a Linux VM to run docker containers in.

Some things in that list are pretty silly (can you really blame Apple for not letting you swap the mouse button order or have the insane focus-follows-mouse option?) Here are some others anyway: * Record system audio. * Control HDMI audio volume (have to use Proxy Audio Driver which is somewhat buggy). * Set mouse acceleration (you used to be able to but they removed the option and now you can only set sensitivity).…
As I say in the post, I have RSI and it hurts to use my index finger. Both Linux & Windows let me remap buttons. So is MacOS only for people in perfect health?
Add: run a docker container without an entire VM.
> Focus Follow Mouse > I have multiple screens and multiple windows. I want to be able to hover over a new one and start interacting with it without clicking. Having attempted to implement this once, doing this is nontrivial. If you try to focus anything under your mouse then you can end up changing the selection state of tables and controls, which is generally undesirable.

I understand, and even appreciate, that they don't let too much customization on their default programs. But why can't you run a different program? It makes no sense.

pointy elbows, doesn't work underwater. can't map the magsafe port to left mouse button.
These are all fairly trivial. There's a much larger list of things that Ubuntu says it can do but does such a bad job of it that I can't use it. Oh and Lightroom, Pixelmator and Excel don't work on Ubuntu.
Trivial to you, and many people, perhaps. But this user is citing problems such as being able to read the menu, and to accommodate for RSI. So in this user's case, these things are sort of blockers.
You forgot "spend three days trying to get a Bluetooth keyboard to pair at boot every time". :-D I love Ubuntu and I use it with Cinnamon desktop on the daily alongside my Mac, and I love the customizability, but I also like just being able to turn on my laptop and do stuff without having to fiddle with a terminal unless I want to, or install a new app by just downloading a thing and clicking on it and agreeing that,…
This means that without any special setup, both real-time audio software (which uses JACK) and 'normal' software (Pulse, ALSA) can co-operate on a single system with a single digital patchbay between all of them and the system output devices (including Bluetooth audio devices).
