I have a machine with Colima and don’t want to bork it if I try Orbstack.

I think I used “brew install docker docker-compose colima” and then “colima start”.

Is “brew install orbstack” a drop in replacement for colima or does it install other things that might conflict?

Drop-in: "orb" to start, stop it + uninstall + restart Colima to revert.

It can optionally install OrbStack's bundled `docker` and `docker compose` binaries, but you can also keep using the Homebrew ones.

use docker contexts, much easier :)

# Switch to OrbStack

docker context use orbstack

# Switch to Colima

docker context use colima
