For those talking about wanting to wait till docker support is 5x5, there’s another work around you can go with.
Buy the M1 and switch to a fully remote development experience. Spin up a DO instance, wire up VSCode Remote, and run docker on that machine.
While it does require an internet connection, I’ve found remote development to be really fantastic as an option on a personal “underpowered” laptop. Especially if you are running a cluster of services or large databases, I find it’s far more productive to offload the running of my code to a VM in the cloud.
