- jmull 5y agoWhat’s wrong with macos?
- beached_whale 5y agoMy only gripe is that docker runs in a VM and there's nothing like that on macos. Other than that, it's out of my way so meh
- scoopertrooper 5y agoI don't think the Docker VM is going to phase that crazy machine.
- jmull 5y agoDocker runs x86/64-based containers fine on my Intel-based Mac. I'm wondering if one of the reasons to get an Apple silicon Mac might be to natively/locally run ARM-based containers, which might be the future.
- beached_whale 5y agoI notice the relative perf difference for my workloads. Also, having to preallocate memory forces a question that is often hard to answer ahead of time and harms other parts of the system while not needed.
- nicoburns 5y agoPossibly not for long. Asahi linux are due an alpha release any day now. No GPU support yet, but I imagine that will come. And is apparently made much easier by the fact that there's essentially only one GPU with minor variants across the entire lineup.
- TheRealNGenius 5y agothat's a plus actually considering the alternatives
