  3. orbstack

    Fast, light, simple Docker containers & Linux machines

    I have had better luck with orbstack (https://orbstack.dev)

  4. multipass

    Multipass orchestrates virtual Ubuntu instances

    Whenever I need a VM on my MacOS I reach out to Multipass[1].

    It is a project by Canonical and has a decent amount of features to get the job done. However, it only supports Ubuntu VMs and has some rough edges.

  5. finch

    The Finch CLI is an open source client for container development

    You can also try finch from AWS which combines a similar stack

    https://github.com/runfinch/finch

    I work at AWS and helped with testing finch during development
