…I think mentioning that Colima runs on macOS and Linux only at the moment is also a good idea: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima A large market share of the Docker Desktop installs are Windows in particular (since it's "the one way" how…

I've been using https://github.com/abiosoft/colima as a Docker Desktop replacement, which is based on Lima. It's pretty nice.

I've had good success running w/ https://github.com/abiosoft/colima as an alternative to Docker Desktop. I'm on an M1 mac, and it's nice to be able to debug both arm64/x86_64 in the same toolchain (via QEMU virtualization).
