can an apple Mac be used to develop episerver code?
I see I can install MS SQL server directly on the mac (via docker), and also get the .net runtime for mac, and there is a version of visual studio for mac, but I have no idea how to actually run the code assuming I can write some c# with the episerver extensions for VS. Our company has a production DXC env, but obviusly we cant touch this. The old win laptop is not really up to running MS Sql server (which I understand needs >2GB ram), and I dont want to have to carry 2 laptops everywhere, if there is any other option.
I have heard there are episerver developers using linux, but I dont know how they actually run and test their code.

You may ask your company to run BootCampt or Parallels for solving your Windows envrionment issues:

I use Parallels as my web development environment for my MacBook Pro.

I use bootcamp to boot into my windows machine on a macbook. But some of my colleagues use VMWare & Parallels to run windows server to do development work.

Hi, our company uses EPI server, but has relatively few people who know how to develop for it. I have been asked to get up to speed with episerver and our sites, but I only have a mac. I can download visual studio community edition, but I dont know if this will help as I dont have MS SQL server or IIS etc. running. I dont have enough HD space to install parallels or bootcamp, but I could possibly get an old laptop with windows 10 to use as a dev "server" if needed, but I would need to use the mac for development.
Is this possible, or is windows the only only option for developers?
