I like orbstack in theory, but I find it hard to justify a $96/yr license fee for something that has so many open source, free alternatives. As it is, I’d rather use podman or colima

It's free for personal use, and for a company 96/year is absolutely nothing, I'd hope.

The alternatives are all broken in some ways is the answer, including the official paid docker enterprise.

Personally I’d rather the company provisioned me MacBook hardware with Linux. Unless Fable or some other ai ports asahi properly to modern hardware I expect to retire before this is possible, orbstack is the next best thing, available today.
