Orbstack now serves 100% of my virtualization and docker needs on macOS. Hopefully I'll never feel the need to install virtualbox or fusion or parallels ever again.



Orbstack is really nice on an M1. But occasionally I run into the need for a GUI application and then I'm stuck. Is it possible to use Orbstack for that?


I haven't had that need, sorry. What applications?


A provider once gave me only a Java JAR graphical UI for an old Cisco VPN thing. I was on a Mac and it would only really work on Ubuntu. I used a different Ubuntu machine to get it going but would have liked to have done it on a virtualized Ubuntu. It did actually work on virtualized Ubuntu but I had to use VirtualBox and it was slow.
