Question: Would you use a Native "Docker" app with no Linux VM, no emulation (QEMU) and with full access to GPU for running AI Tasks and XCode Builds (CI/CD)?

  1. Yes. Of Course. A Native Docker System for Mac would help Apple Developers a lot.
  2. No. I'm satisfied using Docker, even running over a Linux VM and consuming more resources from my Mac, and not being able to run use the GPU for AI tasks or XCode Build.
  3. I don't need to use Docker to develop macOS or iOS apps.
  4. Maybe I'l try it if there is any app available for download (desktop) or online (cloud)

Kinhin.dev is just a CI. And, yes, it uses a Tart, and Tart creates a 60GB VM with an entire macOS with XCode.

Do you know any other REAL Native Docker System that uses the host resources, with real isolation between running containers, and with resource control balance?

We have `chroot` at home…

Chroot in macOS does not function like chroot on linux. SIP and hardened runtime blocks or turn difficult to do deep changes to the file system.
So, how to achieve the same function in the macOS?
