Yes, but what I meant was to have an IDE, where I could run and debug the stack, and deploy when happy.

Technically totally doable, just give me a VS Code + local Linux container (Apple Silicon is great at virtualization) to which it can tunnel.

In practice, impossible with Apple's limitations.

VS Code online supports tunnels, or you can run your own "code-server" (OSS VS Code bundled in a docker container).

I daily drive VS Code remote SSH and had a (honestly inexplicable) thing for Chromebooks for a while. Before the included Linux environment let me install "real" VS Code, these options worked well for me.

Ah fair enough, mostly i’m living in tmux/vim for those scenarios. Real dev work I’d want an IDE too, but seeing the Jetbrains splash on my holidays would ruin my holidays.
