Yeah, fundamentally Docker is Linux on Linux. If you are running Linux on MacOS, it's not Docker, it's a VM. So Docker installs are Linux Docker Image -> Linux VM -> MacOS Virtualization Framework.
For that reason alone, I suspect Linux will always be the best host system for Docker images.

- pjmlp 6y agoOn Windows Docker uses Windows containers for Windows images and WSL for Linux images, so whatever is the best host depends on the images.
