It's not helpful to say some unspecified thing is better than a concrete thing people use.
What Unix tools are an alternative for Docker? I install an app, I download a VM image, and I have a dynamically sized VM with a nice simple UI to control it. VirtalBox is fine too but more heavyweight for multiple VMs at once, and Docker is where the community and premade VMs images are.
Works on any platform.
k8s is probably overkill if you aren't prototyping a production cluster.
