pretty dang easy to run a Linux container on MacOS using Colima (https://github.com/abiosoft/colima).

Yes, however most of us don't really need to use Linux containers for our work, plain traditional UNIX works just fine.

Crostini is built into the Chromebook, vs macOS where I hear a different container solution every time someone asks about it. Colima is a new one to me. Maybe it works great and the others do too, but full 1P support is a step up.

Relative to native Docker and Crostini, my experience using Colima at work was like pulling my own teeth out.
