WSL for Mac?
Yeah pretty much.
MSL that is.
I wonder if you could run WSL under Wine…
That’s very cool! But, my work needs to run proprietary x86 containers not ARM ones. We are sadly being “forced” (they rather still not turn to open source software) to move to Windows. It’s a shame.
I haven’t checked but it should be possible?
macOS has had support for x64 binaries in Linux VMs for a few years now, using their Rosetta 2 translation layer.
I’ve been using colima for x64 emulation. This blog talks a little bit about it, but basically you start colima in either arm or x64 mode and then can run that type of image - https://blog.barakimam.me/running-vs-code-devcontainers-with-x8664-runtime-on-apple-silicon
I looks like it only allows 1 virtual machine at a time so docker-compose wouldn’t work
So Apple computers actually turn useful?
