I've been really impressed with what I can accomplish with lima-vm, beyond just "replace docker desktop". The latest pre-release supports Virtualization.framework, including virtiofs.

Last I checked (which was not that long ago), Lima was stuck using 9p because QEMU for Darwin didn’t yet support virtiofs. Has this changed? Or maybe I’m just misremembering the details…

EDIT: Looks like this was indeed just added in the last couple of weeks https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/commit/c18ae239b69a47db77436...

Check out Finch, a new OSS project out of AWS that packs OSS container tools like Lima and nerdctl together: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/introducing-finch-an...

I am also happy with Lima on my M1 Macs. I wanted a Intel Linux container to run picolisp and it was easy to set up and works nicely.
