> Does not support it _natively_

I’m not trying to be pedantic here, but I genuinely don’t know what you mean here. Macs have built-in virtualization and containerization. Docker and podman etc are wrappers around it, but the internals are built in.

Did you mean they have to emulate x86 code if you download an x86 image instead of a native one?

I mostly meant they don't support cgroups and other Docker-required machinery and have to emulate them.

OrbStack bridges a good chunk of the Linux performance gap however. I was using Colima before and then the Linux laptop was running the integration test suite ~60% faster. OrbStack reduced that to 15%.
