One could always run one's preferred Linux distro under VirtualBox on macOS, to
have assured access to one's desired apps. That wouldn't help much for really
hardware-intensive graphics of course (a VM likely having at best limited
access to hardware acceleration), but for most others, should work, even if not
particularly conveniently.
