That has all sorts of issues like eating disk space and RAM, because neither can't be released to the host once allocated, but then become unused.

I just want to put this out there, smolmachines is a wonderful program to solve this, I use this mostly for stuff needing docker socket / docker in docker (example strix and agents). (I'm using podman on my host)

At that point why not just simplify things and go back to Vagrant...?

Damn, I did not know you need a VM for Docker on macOS. That's kind of ironic, isn't it XD

Every day I wake up and thank the universe for MS making WSL2
