On: macOS Container Machines

[stefan_]

No, the whole point of machines is their external interfaces? A Linux VM with no interfaces is just a closed box wasting power doing math.

And I think I would caution Apple to consider the lessons of WSL; having shared access to the filesystem is just the bare minimum. Next is networking (and god is this a rabbit hole with WSL), people will want to access their USB devices, X forwarding, GPU passthrough..

The whole point of container machines is their isolation.

If we wanted access to all interfaces, we'd just run it locally.

We want the container as a closed box, "wasting power doing math", i.e. processing what we actually passed to it.
