My only gripe is that docker runs in a VM and there's nothing like that on macos. Other than that, it's out of my way so meh
I don't think the Docker VM is going to phase that crazy machine.
Docker runs x86/64-based containers fine on my Intel-based Mac.
I'm wondering if one of the reasons to get an Apple silicon Mac might be to natively/locally run ARM-based containers, which might be the future.
I notice the relative perf difference for my workloads. Also, having to preallocate memory forces a question that is often hard to answer ahead of time and harms other parts of the system while not needed.
