huh, so that's what's happening to me. I was wondering what the likely cause of the kernel panic issue might be. This might be the impetus I needed to try one of these Mac docker alternatives.

Google Mac hibernate issues. Over 1 million results. Windows, over 3 million.

I gave up on hibernation being a valid concept in the 1990's, there's too many things that can go wrong and computers are more complex today.I don't use hibernation and Docker has no issues.

I mean, I've never had any other issue with it. This is clearly a docker problem.

1 million Mac and 3 million Windows users most of whom probably don't know what docker is let alone run it; would like to disagree.

You are being weirdly antagonistic about this. Do you work for Docker? Random search result counts (not unique users btw) have nothing to do with a reproducible bug in Docker. Why are you so caught up on this? You are welcome to go to the issue queue in GitHub to read the steps to reproduce for yourself if you want.
