I think practically everyone is better off with a laptop. iPad is great if you're an artist using the pencil, or just consuming media on it. Otherwise a macbook is far more powerful and ergonomic to use.
I used to think that, not having used an iPad. Now I carry a work-issued iPad with 5G and it's actually pretty convenient for remote access to servers. I wouldn't want to spend a day working on it, but it's way faster than pulling out a laptop to make one tiny change on a server. It's also great for taking notes at meetings/conferences. It's irritatingly bad at consuming media and browsing the web. No ad blocking, so…
I just got a Macbook and haven't touched my iPad Pro since, I would think I could make a change faster on a Macbook then iPad if they were both in my bag. Although I do miss the cellular data that the iPad has.

Apple has had a native hypervisor for some time now. This is probably a baked in clone of something like https://mac.getutm.app/ which provides the stuff on top of the hypervisor.
In case you're wondering, the Hypervisor.framework C API is really neat and straightforward: 1. Creating and configuring a virtual machine: hv_vm_create(HV_VM_DEFAULT); 2. Allocating guest memory: void* memory = mmap(...); hv_vm_map(memory, guest_physical_address, size, HV_MEMORY_READ | HV_MEMORY_WRITE | HV_MEMORY_EXEC); 3. Creating virtual CPUs: hv_vcpu_create(&vcpu, HV_VCPU_DEFAULT); 4. Setting registers: hv_vcpu_w…

Multi-user iPadOS when?
When they figure out how to make it not dent sales of individual devices. If you and your spouse could easily share one around the house for different purposes but still having each of your personal apps and settings, you might not buy two!
Having profiles for the kids however would be nice though. But most apps have that built in themselves.

„Container“ is sort of synonymous with „OCI-compatible container“ these days, and OCI itself is basically a retcon standard for docker (runtime, images etc.). So from that perspective every „container system“ is necessarily „docker-like“ and that means Linux namespaces and cgroups.
With a whole generation forgetting they came first in big iron UNIX like HP-UX.
> New Design with Liquid Glass Looks like software UI design – just like fashion, film, architecture and many other fields I'm sure – has now officially entered the "nothing new under the sun" / "let's recycle ideas from xx years ago" stage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_%28user_interface%29 To be clear, this is just an observation, not a judgment of that change or the quality of the design by itself. I was gett…
To me it looks more like Windows Vista's "Aero" than OS X's "Aqua".
Maybe this is consequence of the Frutiger Aero trend, and that users miss the time where user interfaces were designed to be cool instead of only useful

I think perhaps you are overestimating the computing needs of the majority of the population. Get one of the iPad cases with a keyboard and an iPad is in many ways a better laptop.
Several small things combined make it really different to the experience that I have with a desktop OS. But it is nice as side device

I love that we're getting some texture back. UI has been so boring since iOS 7. Sebastiaan de With of Halide fame did a writeup about this recently, and I think he makes some great points. https://www.lux.camera/physicality-the-new-age-of-ui/
Open link and type into this box "physicality is the new skeumorphism" Read on and: They are completely dynamic: inhabiting characteristics that are akin to actual materials and objects. We’ve come back, in a sense, to skeuomorphic interfaces — but this time not with a lacquer resembling a material. Instead, the interface is clear, graphic and behaves like things we know from the real world, or might exist in the wor…
