Oh, I need Docker a lot. And our target platforms are Linux and OSX, so I just want to have some kind of standard OS on Desktop.

Also stuff like Signal, Spotify etc. I still haven't been able to get running on OpenBSD, maybe some day...

Nicer in a way that setting up the wifi, suspend et. al. just works. And is very easy.

I don't know how adventurous that may be but you can try to run Docker in a Linux VMM ;)

[fulafel]

All the OS X users seem to be content running Docker in a Linux VM. It's more secure that way too, fitting with OpenBSD mentality :)

Doesn't help with the desktop OS part though.

OpenBSD does not yet have kvm support, so you can run qemu, but it'll be very slow.

OpenBSD has its own hypervisor these days https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq16.html

Do you know how VMM performance compares to something like KVM2?

[dijit]

KVM has more than a decade of performance enhancements from companies like rhel/intel/google.

It will definitely perform better. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment and see if the performance hit is something you can accept.

Not sure if this helps, but OpenBSD does have vmm/vmd. Some have reported success running Docker within a Linux guest. https://medium.com/@dave_voutila/docker-on-openbsd-6-1-curre...

Something to try next weekend, thanks for the link.

Ah okay, Docker would be a sticking point for me too. Thanks for sharing
