@zersiax It's basically WSL but for the Mac, with Docker and Kubernetes as extra features.

Extremely power efficient, nice, native GUI, great CLI, networking and filesystem integration, pretty good accessibility, basically what you'd want from a "Linux on Mac" app. It has a lot of niceties too, like automatically exposing all VMs and containers under a .orb.local DNS suffix with 0 config, ability to browse filesystem contents via Finder etc.

It uses a shared kernel architecture, so there are limitations as to what you can do with it, but unless your use case is very strange and very specific, you're not going to run into them. Definitely a 10/10 from me, it's exactly what great, artisanal Mac apps should be like.
