It would be handy if the _magic_ would stop it pegging the allocated WSL2 cores to 100% and leaving my laptop fan screaming.

This is like feature #1, and it’s not there, it’s much worse on macOS,

It’s why I will be running podman on my Mac as soon as I can get compose working.

Here I was thinking only Mac users had this problem. I figured it must run really great on Windows and this was how Docker must have become successful.

I admire the work Docker has done but they have not solved this basic product usability problem after all these years; and now they want us to pay.

It doesn’t feel right to me.

I've been running it on Windows since it existed. In the beginning, it was very buggy indeed - felt like I was constantly having to reset to factory defaults because of networking issues, and every other release had an issue with pegging the CPU at 100%

For the past year or so though, it's been rock solid for me - I don't recall a single issue.

Meanwhile when I need to use my Mac... Docker still pegs the CPU and makes the whole machine almost unusable.

The kubernetes feature makes this problem much worse in my experience. Do you have it disabled?
