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.

Trying Finch and introduce containerd
The author uses a Mac and uses Docker Desktop or colima x Docker CLI to realize a Docker development environment. Dcoker Desktop uses an internal HyperKit (macOS hypervisor) to launch a Linux VM and run dockerd in it. Docker Desktop is based on Lima, and it generates Lima configuration files, and it is used to run Linux.

Docker on OpenBSD?
Sorry, I was misinformed. It seems MacOS still does use a tool called hyperkit to run a (presumably linux) VM as a backend for docker. I thought it was using something similar to jails.

New to ARM64 processors world
You might try using HyperKit as the hypervisor with Kubernetes. It uses Apple's own hypervisor. Minikube, or rather docker, supports it. I would go with minicube as you can start and stop it as needed with ease.

Anyone know how to pass a USB device from M1 mac to Ubuntu container?

A modern toolkit to start working with container images on macOS that meets your needs without requiring a Docker Daemon or even Docker Desktop
What’s the magic behind docker working on macOS?. The answer is virtualization accomplished by the moby/hyperkit hypervisor (AFAIK), a toolkit for embedding hypervisor capabilities in your application, which means that dockerd works in a VM virtualized by the hyperkit. Why I’m telling you this is once you decide to work with containerd on your macOS environment to discover capabilities and more adapt to it because we assume you use containerd in your Kubernetes environment as a default container runtime, you had to have the same virtualization technology under the hood to let containerd working on macOS. Also, you need to have some client tooling to interact with containerd by keeping simplicity and usability in mind.

Chromium Browser
Docker on Mac is based on Hyperkit which is a lightweight VM. https://github.com/moby/hyperkit Crostini is running in a full KVM instance. You challenged me about the Termina shell. Type it in and see if I'm right. No need to debate this anymore when you can verify for yourself.

Docker is not allowed for „big“ companies anymore
Docker Desktop doesn't use virtualbox behind the scenes. It uses hyperkit.

Colima k8s nix setup
You can run a virtual machine (e.g. lima) from inside a nix-shell, exactly as you would do with a regular shell.

for others similarly curious, here's an example of the thing: https://github.com/noop-inc/template-java-spring-boot/blob/m...
they seem to be using the excellent lima <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima#readme> for booting on macOS; I run colima for its containerd and k8s support but strongly recommend both projects $(brew install lima colima)

Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS
Lima is what I use as well. It's quick and easy to just fire up a VM with default settings, but also very easy to configure with different file sharing options, port forwarding, different linux distributions, etc. (their examples are also pretty good IMO [1]).
In particular I use it to run an amd64 VM, which I need to run a stubborn service for work that doesn't run on arm CPUs.

Why are Apple Silicon VMs so different?
Lima (1) is a project that packages Linux distros for MacOS and executes them via qemu in the backend. Maybe you could solve your problem by launching one of their vms and inspecting the command line it generates. You might find an option you were missing.

Lima: Linux Virtual Machines on macOS
Github: https://github.com/lima-vm/lima
Lima wraps QEMU in a simple CLI, with neat features for container users, such as filesystem sharing and automatic localhost port forwarding, as well as DNS and proxy propagation for enterprise networks. Rancher Desktop wraps Lima with k3s integration and GUI.
