We've already had this wave and it didn't take off into mainstream.. I get that it's nice for Talos.. but:
CoreOS, LinuxKit, Bottle Rocket - have some external usage, but it's definitely not going to be "the year of"
Just like unikernels.. technically amazing, but niche
LinuxKit takes a .yaml file and constructs bootable virtual machines - amd64, arm64, riscv64
based on OCI containers (read: docker style containers)
and to add on top of that, it with a little help produces deterministic virtual machines
Okay, let's talk about LinuxKit!
"LinuxKit, a toolkit for building custom minimal, immutable Linux distributions."
where you might think this is about making package repositories and so on but it's actually not
🛡️ KaliOnMac: Seamless Container Magic!
Read more => cybersecuritynews.com/apples…
🚀 Kali’s mantra is “penetration testing from anywhere.”
🖥️ Until now, Mac users have had to juggle heavyweight VMs or Docker Desktop’s resource-hungry LinuxKit VM.
🍏 Apple’s native solution slashes the overhead, cuts cold-start latency, and hardens isolation.
🔄 All this is done while keeping the familiar Docker-style workflow.
🎉 This makes Kali a first-class citizen on macOS for red teams and hobbyists alike.
🛠️ Containerization ships as a developer preview today!
📅 It will be fully integrated when macOS 26 Tahoe lands, likely in September.
8. 💻 Security researchers who usually carry extra laptops may soon find that one Mac will be enough for their needs.

Docker is LinuxKit with the Virtualization framework just as my repo does, which is based off the Open Source docker components. What Apple did now is to bake that into macOS directly. If you know LinuxKit you know there's not too much to patch about it.
