I haven't used OrbStack in a while but would you say Colima or OrbStack is faster? At least on Intel Mac Colima is for me way better than Docker. Also better than Podman in terms of compatibility, although I had to switch back to Docker Desktop since I need full compat.

You know someone has NOT used OrbStack when they just think all they have to offer is the UI. In fact, I barely use the UI, I just see the icon in the Menu Bar, from then on I just love the performance, feels almost like being back on Linux.

can you back that claim up? i see a huge difference between orbstack and docker desktop but colima and orbstack use afaik the same technology and the performance was near identical in my tests. (Though you need to change the colima settings to vz and virtiofs)

I think I have just used the defaults. The difference was huge in regular use. E.g. simple test to upgrade OS packages and time that.
