Ask HN: What about (M)AMP installations on the new M1 Macs?

I still use my MacBook Pro for app maintenance and deployments, but all the PHP development is done on an XPS13 with 32 GB RAM and the Linux Subsystem on Win PRO. To dabble with Ubuntu on the Windows Laptop in the WSL is surprisingly fast and satisfying. I also need the MS Office Suite constantly, so running purely on Linux is not an option.

Now the questions:

Would you shift from Win + WSL as a PHP developer back to Mac with the new machines? I find the 16GB RAM maximum a bit worrying!

I guess I would need to recompile PHP, Apache and MariaDB for the M1 to get some significant speed improvements instead of running on Rosetta 2?

I also like to state, that NOT firing up a virtual machine/docker to run Apache/MariaDB/PHP locally is my preference ;-)

Any geek opinions on native MAMP environments beyond the usual Win<>Mac flames?
