brew install iproute2mac
Also docker is not on homebrew, but there is an installer for it (or you can use Orbstack, which also provides docker). Not everything is on brew, but a very quick google search will help you find all of these.
However, journalctl might be not as helpful on mac - you can install it via brew, but it's not really mac-native.
As an OG bearded UNIX person, my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it - do things on the platform with the native tooling where possible as possible. From the text of your post, it seems to ke that you just want to use Linux. I understand how you feel, yet this feeling is signal but not data.
Good luck and safe travels, friend.
Also docker is not on homebrew
Except that it is
formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker
Casks and formulas handle basically anything: non-redistributable binaries, installers, etc

Absolutely itā¦ thereās a load of Mac utilities and norms I miss when I use Linux, and visa versa: itās just different platformsā¦ neither is better; theyāre just different
i love how much it's changed in just ten years because i remember in the 2010s and late 2000s, every company would make me use windows despite loving the dev environment of mac (especially snow leopard).
now it's almost the opposite with wsl and all
(pls don't come at me - i actually use linux on both my laptop and desktop now i'm just saying anecdotally)
create symlinks in my $Path that point to gawk, gsed, and ggrep
The problem with this is that scripts assume the BSD versions of those tools. The scripts break if I do that. (I tried doing that.)
All of our scripts are littered with:
if os == linux awk <something> else if os == mac awk <something else>

katy āØ$awk var once for the right platform and then use that instead of if-on-every-call? This seems incredibly error prone and verbose for no reasonā¦
The funny thing is that my manager just told me the development workflow is:

Eh. Windows has its share of annoyances, but once I have set it up to my liking my desktop workflow is very similar to my KDE setup, and WSL + Windows Terminal gives me a functional Linux shell environment.
And at least on Windows I donāt have to deal with cmd/control/alt switcharoo messing up my muscle memory.
<rant>I just spent an absurd amount of time setting up my local windows environment to use node 10 and gulp with node-sass and node-gyp (complete BS). I also need to do the equivalent for our Ubuntu pipeline.
And guess what, I just need to do the same for the new team member that just joined and messed his installation with recent versions of everything.
Oh, still find that easy? Lets just throw in crowdstrike and netscope firewalls and proxies for added security and block 50% of node environment and break all TLS/SSL connexion because things are not difficult enough.
Want to use git? Sure, itās jsut 3x to 4x times slower than on Linux.
Did not pay extra carefull attention or do not know the difference between CR, LF and CRLF? let me just make your git life miserable by changing the line endings on all your files. Good luck fixing it.</rant>

Drewstring at this point, because it can do pretty much anything I usually need and has a quite uniform syntax, along with good regex support (and dialect imo)

the ctrl-super-alt is completely different
Itās not ācompletely differentā ā¦ and thatās the problem. Completely different I can handle. I can manage knowing vim keybindings, readline keybindings and standard windows keybindings at the same time. What I canāt handle is: having to use command + C on one Mac and control + C on Windows to copy, but then in some cases you do use ācontrolā on both OS-es, and sometimes control and alt are switched ā¦ Itās because they are similar but different that itās such a mess trying to get proficient in both at the same time.
