I find WSJT-X runs much better on MacOS than on Windows. Your version of
Linux is certainly closer to MacOS than it is to Windows but could have its
own quirks that I don't see. My issues with Windows mainly involve font
sizes and graphics and may be solvable, but it runs so well on my preferred
MacOS that I rarely run it on Windows unless doing a contest that requires
N1MM.
I second Rick on this having helped a friend move his long-time Windows setup to a new Mac. Getting WSJT-X fonts and waterfall width and resolution right on his 5K screen was doable and much easier on the Mac than in Windows. WSJT-X works very nicely with RUMLogNG, a native Mac logger. Since macOS has BSD UNIX under the wraps, almost all Linux software will also run. If needed, there is always Parallels for Windows programs, like MMTTY or DXLog in my case.
