apple shipping a worse version of @orbstack is nice validation :) we have way lower memory usage and better integrations
honored to have coined the term 'machines' (not VMs) for this type of primitive
One of my personal favorite features announced at WWDC will I suspect be a sleeper hit: container machines, allowing your Mac to run a lightweight, persistent Linux environment with your home directory and repos automatically mounted: github.com/apple/container/b…

Claude is really good at uninstalling stuff.
Bye Docker, hello @OrbStack

I have been using @OrbStack for more than a month now, and it is a perfect replacement for the Docker Desktop.
It's extremely lightweight and can create VMs along with containers.

A good time to give @OrbStack a shot. It has been so much faster for me in the past year or so that I have used it

If you're using Docker on a Mac, you've got to try @OrbStack. Completely changed how I use containers locally.
- Run multiple containers with no noticeable impact on battery life.
- Hostnames for everything, no more localhost port collisions.
- Jump into a nice debug shell for running containers--even remote ones (as of today).
They ship super quickly, and it's way cheaper than it needs to be.

For local dev, @OrbStack continues to impress. Fast and easy on the battery.

Some appreciation for really well built pieces of software :

It is a very lightweight docker desktop and provides fully functionnal lightweight local VMs, really cool for testing a multi-server setup without having to spin up paid resources on cloud providers.
