Maybe i'm just in a bubble but none of those Docker Desktop replacements work well on a locked down corporate laptop. Sure you can get it to work somehow, manually configuring proxies, dns and stuff. Docker Desktop somehow just works. Thats why we pay for it.


Life is too short to spend a third of your active life left on a locked down corporate laptop. You should be admin.


I mean, the corporate is paying you for that time either way so that's their loss really


Yes, they pay you for that time, so what? Are you also not losing if you are not satisfied with your working environment?


Many people don't actually care enough to feel dissatisfaction. They just get in, do the job, and get out.


Rancher Desktop works on my Macbook w/ Crowdstrike, Zscaler, Globalprotect, and I'm sure a few other things. Multipass doesn't.


Really? I can run containers without root on Podman, which I could never do with Docker.


That is changing fast and in a year or two Podman and Rancher (and a few others) will be just as good. A number of large companies are also building their own in-house replacements.

I was personally looking for an alternative even before the license change, because the performance of Docker Desktop on my Macbook Pro is terrible in a number of different ways.
