Apple Just Sherlocked Docker

I've recently switched to Orbstack as a drop-in replacement for Docker on my MacBook and it’s faster and more efficient.

The main reason it works well for me is that I don't have to change anything about my workflow, commands like 'docker run' and 'docker compose up' still work, just faster and more efficient.

If Apple's container works the same they might 'sherlock' Docker and Orbstack.

This is actually probably pretty terrible news for orbstack because one of the value props the app has is some kernel/os level api black magic to get around some of the constraints the normal apis give you when running containers. This seems like you can use an official api to achieve these optimized approaches instead, effectively removing one of orbstack’s core value props
