Since you are also a software developer, it is worth mentioning that macOS is based on BSD and offers a robust UNIX platform. You can also find all the major developer tools build natively for macOS. Command-line experience from using Linux can be easily transferred over. macOS comes with all the major shells (bash, zsh, ksh, csh) preinstalled, and they are accessible via Terminal.app. Bash is the default login shell (just like most major Linux distributions).

Homebrew, a community developed package manager is widely popular among software developers. It is recommended to have it installed for managing packages. Homebrew also lets one easily install UNIX tools that Apple either don't provide in the default install, or provide an outdated version of. It is comparable to apt-get in Linux.

Homebrew Cask, an extension of Homebrew project can be used to easily manage installation of GUI applications.
