Really curious how this improves the filesystem bridging situation (which with Docker Desktop was basically bouncing from "bad" to "worse" and back over the years). Or whether it changes it at all.
- dwaite 1y agoI would imagine it is low lift - using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/shared-directories https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/sha... which is already built into the OS
- torginus 1y agoI'm just taking a wild guess here, but I'd guess it's not a problem - WSL2 works afaik by having a native ext4 partition, and the Windows kernel accesses it. Intra-OS file perf is great, but using Windows to access Linux files is slow. MacOS just understands ext4 directly, and should be able to read/write it with no performance penalty.
- benwaffle 1y agoI wonder how it compares to orbstack
- merb 1y agoIf they wanted to improve the situation they would’ve needed to ship an apfs driver and a Linux kernel. Sadly they didn’t.
- wmf 1y agoAFPS isn't the solution since you can't have two kernels accessing the same FS. The solution is probably something like virtio-fs with DAX.
