On a laptop you now have an extra OS running, with all the associated costs: talking to disk every now and then, doing os-y things.
If nothing else, it feels like my battery runs out faster with docker-machine on and no containers running. But maybe somebody has actual numbers on this?
- TeMPOraL 11y agoYes, you have one unnecessary OS there, and it isn't Linux running Docker. :). Personally, I run Windows because for some unknown reason that's what I get issued at every company I join. This Windows runs a VirtualBox with Linux, where I do actual work. Docker is amazing operated directly, and you get all the benefits of your dev and production environment being essentially the same.
