I thought docker just ran a Linux VM if it wasn't already on Linux? I am going by what a colleague explained to me, so please correct me if I'm wrong!

Yes, but the docker for mac uses 100% cpu per core if watching files. I think it's reasonable to assume using a better virtual machine (possibly including vmware and parallels, maybe virtualbox) means that file system events are less buggy.

That's correct - it runs an xhyve VM on macOS
