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…

The migration from Docker Desktop to @OrbStack is the slickest thing I have seen in recent times.

orbstack x ghostty!
Yeah! @OrbStack 2.0 embedded Ghostty as their built-in terminal (via libghostty). If you use OrbStack, you're now also using Ghostty. So cool to see this. I think we'll only see more of this when libghostty stabilizes and gets packaged properly.

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

I highly recommend @OrbStack as a Docker Desktop for Mac replacement.

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.

Domains: Auto HTTPS for Kubernetes ingress controllers
@OrbStack does not get *nearly* enough love, I can't speak highly enough about it
