I belong to a rare breed of very opportunistic hobby-developers that like to use MacOS but also like to use linux machines or BSDs (rpi etc) sometimes.

I can create docker-images with docker compose, or use something like colima, which this seems to be close to (that should have some advantages over docker, although my hope of circumventing W^X page protection did not pan out).

I was perplexed that the repository does not put these container machines in context. The seem to be close to colima? When should I use which option (docker, collima, container machines ?)

Maybe others wonder too but are ashamed to ask. I have no shame ;)

Thanks for any pointers

Why try to circumvent W^X page protection? Some sort of self-modifying program without extra pointer indirections?
