I recently booted up a new macbook and spent about an hour trying (unsuccessfully) to get docker desktop to work reliably. On my previous macbook, about once a day docker desktop would become unresponsive, and the only way i could get it to reopen was to restart my entire machine. So this is a tribute to orbstack, which afiact is a full drop in replacement. To be honest i havent thought about it once since i installed it, and that is amazing :)
OrbStack is a fast, light, and simple way to run containers and Linux machines on macOS. It's a supercharged alternative to Docker Desktop and WSL, all in one easy-to-use app.
