Personally I'll be sticking to Rancher Desktop[1] It's backed by SuSE so it's going to be supported and not dependent on a single maintainer. From my perspective, the last thing I want to do is waste my time debugging my container runtime, I just want to get on with the job. It's based also around K3s, which is well suited to desktop environments. The list goes on... [1] https://rancherdesktop.io

(I work on OrbStack.) Fair point. Any missing features that you've noticed in particular? Edit: OrbStack will also most likely remain free for personal non-commercial use.
Please have a personal license that allows commercial use by the licensee, often it's hard to convince your company to get something just for you and I'm happy to pay for a tool I already use so I don't have to context switch. (I did so for Obsidian and Berkeley Mono).
This is the status quo for Java tools at the very least, i.e IDEA, YourKit, etc.

Does it work with Podman? Does it have support for docker-compose files?
Tangentially related but I wish people would stop recommending nix-env and just in general ad-hoc installation on using Nix. It defeats the purpose of using Nix in the first place. If you want to try a package out, there’s "nix shell" or "nix-shell -p" if you’re not using flakes. If you want to install a package you should put it in your configuration instead.

and then later again in the Basic Package Management section:

I fully agree that it is using Nix in the wrong way. But if it's something that Nix's own manual suggest, you can't blame people for doing the same.

Rancher desktop has a bloated electron GUI and and just keep in mind that Rancher as a company is going the way of dust - already about as relevant as SuSE.
What do you see as a replacement for Rancher? I haven’t seen any offerings that out of the box work behind a firewall. Tanzu Mission Control failed this, D2iQ Kommander fails at it as of 2.0. EKS Anywhere doesn’t have that either afaik.

It is a project by Canonical and has a decent amount of features to get the job done. However, it only supports Ubuntu VMs and has some rough edges.
