You might find OrbStack useful here as a replacement for Docker Desktop. So much faster and uses way less resources: https://orbstack.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
On macOS, I recommend OrbStack. It is lighter than Docker Desktop. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
There are a bunch of options to run containers locally on macOS. In addition to the dominant Docker Desktop, there are other excellent tools like OrbStack, Podman/Podman Desktop and even a solution from Apple starting with macOS 26 (Tahoe). - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

Ooof. What a stellar project. Alas. I wonder how much this will affect Kata Containers, which is AFAIK like the best/only good way to run containers in k8s with the security of VMs? https://katacontainers.io/ Man. There's so much amazing work Intel has done for the ecosystem. It's so hard so scary to imagine this world where no one else fills in so so much, so unclear who else does.
