It emulates the entire hardware stack so it's even slower than virtual machines which in turn are slower than docker on linux.

- nsonha 5y agoIsn't that KVM? Why don't they say they use KVM if it's the case?
- detaro 5y agoBecause they use QEMU, which in turn uses KVM where appropriate, or some Microsoft thing on Windows, or an Intel equivalent on Intel-Macs. EDIT: and since this app is for now only for Mac and Windows if I read the page right, it's probably not using KVM obviously.
