Last I checked, running Docker on Windows and macOS involved running a Linux VM under the hood, and that Linux VM is what actually ran Docker.



"The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64)."[1]

macOS Docker performance leaves much to be desired, but this is moving goal posts and suggestive of infinite ignorance: nothing other than Docker on Linux is acceptable. But Docker is just software and it will work wherever, and it has its limitations and plenty of competition to do what it doesn't do or does poorly. Die on the Docker Linux hill if you wish, but, last I checked, platform agnostics are versatile, more marketable, and more valuable, while penguinistas have become all too common. "Give me Philips head screwdrivers or give me death! How can you still use flathead drivers? Or star bit drivers? LOL You're not even screwing seriously. Real men use Phillips." Same thing, really. When you need tools to work, you'll take care of them. But precious few, if any, actually worship them.
