minus-squarelime!linkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agobecause docker. it hard requires a linux kernel and is extremely slow on mac, just like it was on windows until they integrated with wsl.
minus-squareMatt The HorwoodlinkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agoI see, I don’t use docker all that much on my works Mac. So haven’t noticed the speed. Also is it the storage share that’s slow? As docker desktop is a VM
minus-squarelime!linkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agowell docker on mac is a fully emulated x86 vm. everything is slow.
minus-square@friend_of_satan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-210 months ago~~It’s not that slow. https://www.imore.com/tests-show-apples-m1-emulates-x86-faster-intel-can-run-it-natively~~ Edit: actually I just benchmarked it and containerized Linux runs at like 40% of native speed. So yeah, that’s pretty freakin slow. FWIW arm64 containers ran at nearly native speed, so it’s the x86 emulation that seems to be causing the slowdown.
minus-squareThe_DecryptorlinkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agoThat’s only if you’re running an x86 container right? It should be native with an ARM64 one.
minus-squarelime!linkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months agoyeah. last i had a mac there were no arm containers though.
