I've dabbled with the latter, but not much besides that.

OrbStack is shockingly good. We have tools that are deeply integrated with Docker Desktop and the CLI and it all worked perfectly out of the box when I switched to OrbStack. It also takes like seconds to start and has yet to overheat my laptop or drain my battery.
Highly recommended: https://orbstack.dev/

Yeah, I used the command line sync. It was great. I was running my development environment on a virtual machine in the cloud and I could edit all the files locally so I had no lag. Worked really well.

TIL Docker Desktop is a battery drain / resource hog. I’ll give this a try.

#7Note for the confused (maybe just me?), this is not related to python-mutagen[0], the metadata library.

Orb Stack looks neat but I don't think it provides that capabilities that Mutagen does? It seems like the two would be compatible with one another.

I used it with Docker for Mac locally back when bind mounted volumes on Mac were perilously slow. From the article though it looks like the focus is on remote containers.

Yes I started using this in the past year. It dramatically sped up my watch/test cycle on mac.
It seems like something that shouldn't be necessary on Mac with docker so I hope they just make it a standard docker feature.
