How's that any different than running a virtual machine on your Mac with a real Linux in it?

Seamless mounting, launching code editors in Windows from Linux, issuing docker commands in the Linux OS while the docker engine and its mounts are hosted on Windows.

Doing things with something like Vagrant on Mac sometimes cuts it, sometimes doesn't. Either way, if I'm not shelling out money I could be stuck using a subpar solution like VirtualBox.
