My big issue with Docker on Mac is that, if I understand it correctly, I have to provision the max amount of RAM my containers will need and have that sitting, consumed, when Docker is enabled (the Linux VM is running).

At least with traditional VMs for development I can spin up a few low memory VMs (256MB, for example), using just as much RAM as needed. My understanding is that running one low memory Docker container will cause the VM to consume 4GB (or whatever my default is). On a MacBook, where RAM is at a premium, this doesn't work for me.

I imagine the native experience on Linux is much nicer.
