I'm not a regular mac user, but sometimes have been forced to use one for work and I tend to download this https://emacsformacos.com/ and my linux config mostly just works (with a few things that I've had to customise like paths to aspell, etc)

I get my copy of Emacs using Homebrew (https://brew.sh/). I’m pretty sure that this installs the same version of Emacs that you can get from (https://emacsformacos.com/). Once you have Homebrew installed, you can install Emacs like this:

brew install --cask emacs

https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus is used for Emacs by engineers at my current job, its very easy to configure with options,e.g native-comp, xwidgets to embed portal, etc. (and even choose a desktop launcher icon if you wish)
