TL;DR: Asahi Linux will be developed with the Fedora Linux distribution as the primary distribution moving forward. Fedora’s discourse forum will be the primary place to discuss Asahi Linux.

    Docker isn’t virtualization. It’s a way of packaging applications, their dependencies and configuration. Docker containers can be run together or segregated based on configuration. Essential in much modern software- no more this dependency for x clashes with that dependency for y / ‘works on my machine’ / I can’t install that version.

    The containers share a host Linux kernel (which is virtualized on non Linux systems). Docker runs fine on ARM but only using arm containers. It’s tricky to run x86_64 containers on an arm host, especially with a different OS

      X86_64 containers run just fine on my m2 Mac. Since macOS doesn’t really support containers, it’s really just running a vm to run the containers in. Changing the vm allows you to run a different arch. Rosetta makes that fairly easy. I use Colima to run my containers, and to make them run as x86_64 it’s just a command line flag
