  • orbstack

    Fast, light, simple Docker containers & Linux machines for macOS

    • OrbStack functions better than Podman and Docker Desktop combined on macOS: https://orbstack.dev/

    Lightweight, native app, drop in replacement

  • linux-macvirt

    Modified Linux kernel for OrbStack (one of the core components) — to request the latest version, email [email protected]

    • 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.
