  That's a good thing though right?

    It would be better for the OrbStack guy if they bought it.

      Apple sees some nice code under a pushover license and they just can’t help themselves.

        Interestingly it looks like Apple has rewritten much of the Docker stack in Swift rather than using existing Go code.

  Well, Orbstack isn't really anything special in terms of its features, it's the implementation that's so much better than all the other ways of spinning up VMs to run containers on macos. TBH, I'm not 100% sure 2025 Apple is capable anymore of delivering a more technically impressive product than orbstack ...

  I thought it's more like Colima than OrbStack https://github.com/abiosoft/colima https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

  Microsoft did it first to Virtual Box / VMWare Workstation thought. That is what I have been using since 2010, until WSL came to be, it has been ages since I ever dual booted.
