This looks awesome. The state of virtualization on Apple Silicon right now is a bit painful. If this really does provide semi performant x86 Linux emulation and there was a Vagrant Provider plugin then this would easily be the defacto tool for dev / testing VMs on macOS.

Same probably applies to hashicorp Packer.

Every tool I have tried like Parallels and VMWare Fusion 13 Pro says that nested virtualization for windows is not possible. If this is possible with Orb at some point i’d pay for it.

I often want to test a Windows VM with Docker installed into WSL2 and this becomes a nightmare now on Apple Silicon.

Also I wonder what possibility this opens up for an improved toolchain to develop stuff like Asahi Linux by bridging macOS native tooling and Linux emulation to write and test code without rebooting or using two machines.

Amazing work. Why can’t Apple, Vzmware, parallels or someone else do all of this when a single developer can. Sad.
