Podman Desktop celebrates 500k downloads
This diagram explains it very well, thanks!
So there's only 1 VM, running a modified Linux kernel (https://github.com/orbstack/linux-macvirt/commits/mac-pub) with a barebones userland. Then inside there's a bunch of souped-up chroots (probably LXC/LXD), running the various linux distribution VMs as well as one that just runs `dockerd`.
Here it specifies that all the VMs share 1 kernel: https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture#linux-machines
On top of this, it's fast because it uses Rosetta (which is very fast) and kdrag0n spent a lot of time optimizing various parts of the kernel and the resulting environment.

Ask HN: Tips to get started on my own server
If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2024)
OrbStack | Founding Engineer | US/Europe REMOTE | Full-time | https://orbstack.dev
OrbStack is making Docker containers & development environments delightful. Our app replaces Docker Desktop and makes containers faster, lighter, and easier to work with. It's the tool of choice for PlanetScale, Replicate, and other hot companies.
Containers should be a joy to use, not something you have to put up with. Let's build the future of dev envs.
As a founding engineer, you'll mainly work on breaking high-level ideas down into tough systems problems, solving them, and taking ownership of projects. If https://cpu.land and https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture excite you, you'll be right in place.

How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
Before you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/
It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon.
It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev
It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.
Since I switched I haven't looked back.
