Hey, thanks for responding.
I think it is great to have more options in this space, as all of these options are still quite immature. In terms of approaches to take, I find one of the challenges in using lima is that, they way lima works makes the VM different enough from production that I can't be confident testing covers everything.
In terms of feature set, I think some of these have been mentioned below, but these would be great:
- network bridging
- snapshotting
- usb / bluetooth passthrough (this is probably dependent on Apple's framework)
