I'm a Linux user (I don't know Apple much). I use devcontainers (the repo I listed) for almost everything, because almost everything is possible to do with about zero overhead. Eg, it won't do memory fragmantation that VMs do, processes are just the same, as on host. GUI apps work just the same as the ones on host, which is really cool. Storage can be an issue if images multiply too much, but not a real issue.
Incus is a bit different, I still evaluate it, so can't comment much. By description is just the very thing I was looking for (a VM, but without VM's overhead). It's amazing, that Debian12 desktop will start in about 2 seconds. Performance is again just the same as on host's machine.
VMs are still cool, I still use them, where I want to be really sure that I won't have a bug that containers would cause them (weird networking and such).
