   Also would be great to know which "orb" flags you find confusing. Config options are now documented: https://docs.orbstack.dev/settings

   Totally fair! There are definitely still limitations. Support for "isolated" machines that don't have bind mounts is planned ( https://github.com/orbstack/orbstack/issues/169 ). This is actually

   The free plan for personal use should be here to stay. What's not set in stone yet is whether there will be a Pro plan for more advanced features, and if so, what said advanced features would be (likely cloud services / Kubernetes

   Glad to hear that! There's currently no support for changing the kernel version. I think it may not be feasible to support many versions because a lot of OrbStack's improvements are very closely tied to the kernel, and maintaining

   Thanks for mentioning OrbStack! I thought I'd elaborate on a few specific ways OrbStack improves on apps and issues mentioned elsewhere in this thread. - Network hangs and connection issues: I wrote a new virtual network stack in users

   (dev here) Yes, this is still the proposal that I'm planning to move forward with. It's always possible that it doesn't work out and will need to be changed, but I think it's a pretty solid start. Just updated the docs w

    I can't speak for the feasibility of running a macOS guest on Asahi, but yes, Linux could be in control of the guest's CPU flags. Same goes for the m1n1 hypervisor. I can't find the exact post but I remember marcan saying t

    I use Virtualization.framework for OrbStack ( https://orbstack.dev ), which is a Docker Desktop and WSL alternative. It's great overall, and fairly convenient, but it has a fair share of bugs and limitations. The Virtualizati

    Honestly, I want to like Supabase but a lot of this resonates with me even for a fairly small project. I also ended up with 3 user tables due to RLS limitations: auth users, public user profile info, and private user info (e.g. Stripe custo

    Docker Desktop: $84-132/yr Parallels Desktop Pro (no resource limitations): $120/yr OrbStack: $96/yr Seems very reasonable, especially for a tool that does most of what Docker Desktop and Parallels do combined (but better in

    Great to hear, thanks for sharing :) Here's to hoping that Apple fixes the underlying memory bug in macOS 14. Being able to ship dynamic memory would be amazing!

    (I work on OrbStack.) Fair point. Any missing features that you've noticed in particular? Edit: OrbStack will also most likely remain free for personal non-commercial use.

    Hey, dev here. 265% CPU usage doing nothing is definitely not normal and could be a bug of some sort. Can you share what you were doing before closing it, and even better, send log files (OrbStack menu -> Show Logs) to logs@orbstack.dev

    (dev here) Hey, to clarify: "Say goodbye to slow, clunky containers and VMs" refers to the fact that we support running both Docker containers and Linux machines, not that the Docker engine doesn't use a VM under the hood. An

    (dev here) OrbStack runs Linux, so no — you'll need a Windows VM for that.

    (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
