I would like to switch an older Intel MacBook Professional used for software program improvement – particularly constructing and working Docker pictures for an Intel x86-64 structure.
I don’t have to push the photographs to a repository, however I would like them to work precisely the identical as on Intel-based machines, each whereas constructing and working; simply as superb as they do proper now on my Intel MacBook Professional.
Final time I checked (2022/2023), there have been occasional points with this on Apple Silicon. Are you able to inform me if the state of this has improved in 2024? I learn that Rosetta 2 works effectively for some apps, however not a lot for others. How nice is it for a Linux VM working Docker?
Examples of issues talked about in a Reddit thread (Docker + Apple Silicon) for my utilization case:
- Nothing heats up and nothing slows down whenever you use pictures really constructed to your CPU structure. Don’t go placing squares in spherical holes and complain concerning the outcomes.
- Docker is ridiculously quick on my M1, […] This all relies on utilizing ARM native containers in fact.
- The one time I had some bother as soon as was when one of many pictures I wanted wasn’t constructed for M1.
- Typically working ones for different architectures or cross constructing them is a ache.
Granted, this submit is from a couple of 12 months in the past.
The query can be answered for instance if there was some main basic breakthrough how macOS works along with Linux VMs in more moderen model. I regarded round however couldn’t discover a lot if something on that.
