Damn, I did not know you need a VM for Docker on macOS. That's kind of ironic, isn't it XD

Every day I wake up and thank the universe for MS making WSL2

WSL2 is also a VM. docker relies on the linux kernel apis, so it must be ran inside a linux VM on macos or windows

  • Windows does have a native sandboxing API that Docker is capable of using IIRC, but nobody uses it.

    The macOS situation is even worse in that the kernel lacks the requisite capabilities.
