macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

When all you hire are web devs everything becomes a docker

But why?
Certain application only has Mac OS or Windows version.

This isn't a Linux post.
While I read the title I was thinking “that sounds like Linux with extra steps” - maybe that’s good enough for some discussion.

Oh that’s cool! I thought virtio and such were KVM-specific things. I have never been super clear on the relationship between QEMU and the hypervisor itself, like where one ends and the other begins.
wrote last edited by [email protected]VirtIO was originally developed as a device para-virtualization as part of KVM but it is now an OASIS standard: https://docs.oasis-open.org/virtio/virtio/v1.3/virtio-v1.3.html which a number of hypervisors/VMM's support.
The line between what a hypervisor (like KVM) does and what is delegated to a Virtual Machine Monitor - VMM (like QEMU) is fairly blurry. There is always an additional cost to leaving the hypervisor to the VMM so it tends to be for configuration and lifetime management. However VirtIO is fairly well designed so the bulk of VirtIO data transactions can be processed by a dedicated thread which just gets nudged by the kernel when it needs to do stuff leaving the VM cores to just continue running.
I should add HVF tends to delegate most things to the VMM rather than deal with things in the hypervisor. It makes for a simpler hypervisor interface although not quite as performance tuned as KVM can be for big servers.

It supports Rosetta2, so yes.
However, with macOS 26 (Tahoe) being the final version for Intel-based Macs, Rosetta 2 will be on the chopping block afterwards.

Not here, it's not.
