macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

Container and Ai ! Now you get the sparkle junkie virus, guys!

[thetwelveyearold@lemmy.world]

If containers are part of your work then you wouldn't buy a 8GB RAM unupgradable device anyway.

I wonder if they’re going to allow GPU access from inside the VMs.

[fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Apple being Apple, the answer is probably yes. But realistically there's going to be some stupid hurdle in the way and because they make it a PITA nobody's really going to do it.

Which really sucks because the massive GPU and "unified memory" is incredible when they work in conjunction.

Can you run amd64 containers?

[geoff@midwest.social]

Like, you can use the GPU on Linux…with Metal

[lefantome@programming.dev]

Ok. So now both Apple and Microsoft are distributors of the Linux kernel. What a timeline.

[loweffortname@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

It supports Rosetta2, so yes.

[thetwelveyearold@lemmy.world]

it's the year of the linux desktop without the year of the linux desktop.

[duke_nukem_1990@feddit.org]

No, but the company's IT would buy a 16GB Macbook for you that isn't even initially compatible with the images/containers you need to work with. Ask me how I know >.>

virtio-gpu with Vulkan pass through for the VM with a Vulkan to Metal translator in host user space. There are various talks about this including at KVM forum: https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf
