Change from linux to macbook

Hello everyone!

I have an asus tuf laptop that has dual boot on it with linux and windows. I have been using this for work for a long time now.

This computer is starting to get a little old, and since I started traveling more, its not the best to carry around and work from because of its weight and the battery life.It cant really be used more than 1-2hours without charging, and it can be charged through usb either.

So, I am thinking about getting a new machine for work, and I was thinking about buying a macbook because it has more battery life,maybe faster, and easier to carry around.

But I am not sure that its good for dev work. I have been using terminal,cli-s, and different tools on linux, and running local servers for development.

Docker,npm,composer,ssh,vscode with sometimes sftp to upload files to old servers, phpstorm, cursor, sometimes minimal ai agents, tailwind, symfony+cli, redis, nextjs, postgresql, mysql, figma, git. around this stack.

was anyone in my shoes, and if Yes, what did You decide and how it turned out?

People who already working from macbook, how satisfied are You with it?

Could I use my stack on macbook without much trouble, how would my workflow change on it?

What are some macbook quirks that bother You, hard to deal with?
