It just makes working with containers like a breeze. This shows the value of ye old UNIX philosophy: do one thing good. And plus, OrbStack just keeps getting better!
Simply amazing - if you have ever tried docker for Mac then you know the issues - this drop in replacement will blow you away and then some! Performance. Stability. Compatibility. Even does IPv6 out the box unlike official docker for Mac!
OrbStack is a promising alternative, especially for macOS users who need lightweight container and VM management. However, its adoption depends on your specific needs, compatibility with existing workflows, and willingness to explore a newer platform. It’s worth experimenting with if you’re dissatisfied with existing tools like Docker Desktop, but thorough testing in your environment is recommended before making a switch for production workloads.
OrbStack is a game changer. Its more performance than docker desktop, exposes the network to the host, and supports containers and VMs. Been amazing to use.
