> As opposed to that, there's OrbStack, a venture-backed closed source application thriving off of user licenses, developed by a small team. As empathetic as I am with them, I know where I bet my money on in this race.

Orbstack started out as one kid with a passion for reducing the suffering of the masses, and from day 1 he was relentless about making the experience as smooth as possible, even for the weirdos like me (e.g. I have a very elaborate ssh config). He was very careful and thoughtful about choosing a monetisation model that wouldn't hinder people exactly like him - passionate hackers on a shoestring budget.

Yeah, it's now venture-backed. I'm not concerned, as long as Danny is in charge.
