How has Docker been for you, I am also considering running Windows on it or maybe Linux possibly with near native performance.

Is this good to go?

I am using Docker Preview 3.1.0(60984) with the Air, and its super fast. A build process that usually takes 5 seconds on a maxed out intel MacBook Pro takes a few milliseconds on M1 Air (16GB). Docker crashed once or twice within the last month but nothing major, just restarted the Docker engine and it was fine.

edit YMMV. I use Docker with a NodeJS stack.

It should be better now: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/apple-m1/

But there is no autoupdate

That looks very serious, doesn't look stable or ready..

It never happened to me, running dev workloads. Images: mariadb, nginx, nodejs, custom debian / ubuntu (all arm64).
I'm sorry I do not use Docker. So I can not comment on that. I also did not try to run Windows or Linux on the machine.
