Docker already runs fine on ARM Linux, I can't imagine porting to Apple's ARM flavor of Unix is that much harder

- saagarjha 6y agoThis isn't really how it works. I mean, it won't necessarily be difficult, but having it working on ARM Linux means very little for it working on macOS.
- larkost 6y agoI disagree. On MacOS (x86) Docker runs inside a VM; which is running Linux (since Docker needs Linux kernel features). On the forthcoming ARM version of MacOS, it will need to run a VM, running the ARM version of linux. So having Docker working on the ARM version of linux is a good portion of the work needed to get it to run on ARM MacOS. You still have to get the VM and communications setup done, but Apple has already said they have done much of that work.
- saagarjha 6y agoLinux working on ARM is not new work at all.
- entropicdrifter 6y agoBut setting up a VM to run Linux on ARM on top of MacOS on ARM is new work
