It seems to me that the right fix is for Docker Desktop to support M1. Docker, kubelet, the k8s control plane, and everything else has supported ARM for ages. There is no need for that extra VM and therefore no blocker on nested virtualization.

It's not an ARM problem, it's a kernel/OS one. Same as Windows, macOS simply doesn't have what it takes (namespaces, cgroups, etc.) to run Docker/Linux containers natively, therefore an intermediary Linux VM is needed.

Agreed, but considering that kubernetes now supports joining windows workers to run windows containers, as well as integrated support for dockerd inside wsl2... That leaves macOS as honestly the worst platform for any kind of container related work.

Doh, I forgot about that. You're right, the VM is needed anyway.
