Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers
I'm surprised this says "with focus on running containers", I thought that would be colima, which uses Lima but is a separate project. https://github.com/abiosoft/colima
Lima is more of a nice way to run a Linux VM on Mac in a way that integrates the guest and the host systems to a good degree by default. It wraps either QEMU or Apple's VZ framework.
For a more traditional VM GUI, there's https://mac.getutm.app/ which is a completely separate project that also wraps QEMU or VZ.

How I ended up using Colima for Docker on Apple Silicon
While looking into the issue with Podman, I came across colima. Apart from being able to run AMD64 images out of the box, there were additional benefits to it, one of which was, unlike podman, colima could use Rosetta 2 for x64 emulation (which is significantly more performant).

Lcl.host: fast, easy HTTPS in your local dev environment

Damn Small Linux 2024
You might look into CoLima as a way to get started.
https://github.com/abiosoft/colima?tab=readme-ov-file
Its user interface is Docker-like, using containers.
For full desktop, I've only used the commercial app "Parallels", which can set up an Ubuntu desktop for you. Also Fedora and Alpine and Debian I believe.
But
> I don't really have any resources to share. I just know how to boot a vmlinuz with an initramfs using QEMU, and decided to download the Linux kernel source code and try compiling it.
I highly recommend working through Linux from Scratch and possibly the Gentoo Handbook. It's a journey.

Howto: WASM runtimes in Docker / Colima
I could not find any guide how to add WASM container capability to Docker running on Colima. This guide provides a few Colima templates for exactly this, which adds WasmEdge, Wasmtime and Wasmer runtime types.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
After docker desktop became unusable, I jumped to colima and never looked back. I still use the docker runtime in it (the non-proprietary part) but it also supports containerd. On Mac it's just a "brew install colima" and then "colima start"
I also install the compose and ecr credentials plug-ins (since I use ecr for my container registry.) It has the full functionality of docker desktop minus the UI, which I never used anyways.

K3s – Lightweight Kubernetes
On my M1 Pro system, I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience of using Colima (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima). Quick to set up and fast to use.

UTM – Virtual Machines for iOS and macOS
I'd say Lima and Colima should be enough for most use cases:

How do I get real client IP inside docker container for logging to the database
Further reading online revealed that host network mode is not available for swarm started with docker stack deploy. (Possible related open issue: github link).

Serious Question: why use Docker Desktop? (from a Linux user)
Single-click k8s install. Extensions. Init. And there are people who just prefer an app-based experience for their own reasons - I think it was the most "upvoted" request ever on their public roadmap.

Ask HN: Is MacBook Pro 14 M1 16/512 still a great choice?
In case you need to run x86 containers: Docker has Rosetta support now but it's buggy.
https://github.com/docker/roadmap/issues/384
Without Rosetta it uses relatively slow Qemu emulation.

How's the M2 Max for Docker development?
I've been watching this GitHub issue for damn near 3 years. Filesystem performance is pretty bad, depending on what you're doing. I had to kludge together workarounds to my DX at my last role where we used Docker for development. It was really, really painful and distracting.
