> A secure, optimized Linux VM that runs Linux tools and containers
Nothing new under the sun, this was already possible with docker-toolbox.
> Seamless plumbing into the host OS giving containers access to the filesystem and networking
Lol. The native filesystem mounts are like 10x slower than on Linux, making them useless. FUSE helps somewhat but causes other issues, especially when mounting lots of files that change often.
> Bundled container tools including Kubernetes, Docker Compose, buildkit, scanning
Thanks a lot, previously I had the choice of installing these myself as needed instead of having them all, always, at the newest versions.
> Docker Dashboard for visually managing all your container content
I never use it for anything since all my environments are managed by scripted docker-compose.
> A simple one click installer for Mac and Windows
Who is it for, exactly? Developers can handle installing things.
> Preconfigured sane and secure defaults
Lol, no. The ”sane defaults” always lead to containers getting killed by OOM. Security is also dubious, since the default network is shared between all containers. Also have you ever tried setting up to route all traffic through a VPN because that is nigh impossible.
> Automatic incremental updates to keep your system running securely
By showering free tier users with update nags that can only be snoozed and not skipped. Too often the updates also break something.
