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

Apple being Apple, the answer is probably yes. But realistically there's going to be some stupid hurdle in the way and because they make it a PITA nobody's really going to do it.
Which really sucks because the massive GPU and "unified memory" is incredible when they work in conjunction.
Like, you can use the GPU on Linux…with Metal

Ok. So now both Apple and Microsoft are distributors of the Linux kernel. What a timeline.

Can you run amd64 containers?
It supports Rosetta2, so yes.

it's the year of the linux desktop without the year of the linux desktop.

If containers are part of your work then you wouldn't buy a 8GB RAM unupgradable device anyway.
No, but the company's IT would buy a 16GB Macbook for you that isn't even initially compatible with the images/containers you need to work with. Ask me how I know >.>

@[email protected] It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

It's everyday the year of Linux !

Sweet, that will help me, although it takes away my last blocker allowing me to use my Linux box as my primary blocker.
I guess I will have to comain about performance or something.

Mac and Linux feel like cousins than ultra far apart at times.
