How has Docker been for you, I am also considering running Windows on it or maybe Linux possibly with near native performance. Is this good to go?

It should be better now: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-m1/ https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-m1/ But there is no autoupdate

    It never happened to me, running dev workloads. Images: mariadb, nginx, nodejs, custom debian / ubuntu (all arm64).

I'm sorry I do not use Docker. So I can not comment on that. I also did not try to run Windows or Linux on the machine.

I am using Docker Preview 3.1.0(60984) with the Air, and its super fast. A build process that usually takes 5 seconds on a maxed out intel MacBook Pro takes a few milliseconds on M1 Air (16GB). Docker crashed once or twice within the last month but nothing major, just restarted the Docker engine and it was fine. edit YMMV. I use Docker with a NodeJS stack.

Docker works well, two caveats. 1) MySQL doesn't have an ARM image. I moved to MariaDB. This is also in Docker docs [1]. 2) My images on AWS are still amd64, and I have no way to build from my laptop now. I found this article [2], but I think it requires joining the Docker Preview program [3]. I applied a couple days ago and I'm awaiting response.

  You can just install the docker experimental version and use buildx. It works fine on my M1
