Tried it a couple of days ago, and I could really notice the speed & battery improvement. Impressive for what seems to be a one man project (of 18yo according to his twitter bio ?!).
Reading the architecture page (https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture), OrbStack seems more than just a simple wrapper around Docker tools, but some clever custom kernel tricks and network stack.
- kdrag0n 3y ago(dev here) Indeed, glad to hear that it's worked well for you! Running custom services in the VM and on macOS also play a big role because it allows us to build them from scratch with efficiency in mind, rather than using off-the-shelf components. Larger time investment upfront, but definitely worth it in hindsight. I don't expect OrbStack to stay a one-man project in the long term :)
