Thanks, that’s helpful. I read in another comment that you’re like 18?! Incredible work - keep at it and best of luck! I, for one, will certainly be keeping an eye on this.

Yeah I was shooting from the hip a bit - but mainly I was just working on an assumption that the long-standing complaints against Docker on Apple Silicon Macs are well-known. Scrolling down the landing page, they seem to be claiming they’ve solved most of them. After watching Docker fail to do that year after year, it seems extraordinary.

“No more battery drain or complicated VMs… Less than 0.1% background CPU usage on Apple Silicon… Less than 10 MB of disk space is used… 2 sec startup time… Works without admin”

Seems like a laundry list of absolutely everything you would fix with Docker Desktop if you had a magic wand?

If this is the real deal, it sounds absolutely amazing. Genuinely curious to hear from people who have used it extensively.

Running all your instances in separate VMs vs using a single VM to host containers is a completely different paradigm, especially when it comes to performance. This is even more true for performance between instances.

So I personally don't find "say goodbye to VMs" to be misleading.

(dev here) Hey, to clarify: "Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs" refers to the fact that we support running both Docker containers and Linux machines, not that the Docker engine doesn't use a VM under the hood.

And yes, there is still a VM, but the experience and architecture are very different from traditional full Linux VMs that we're describing with "slow, clunky".
