       This is an *early* preview so expect bugs!Root is currently required on Pixel 6, but may change in the future.Design is container-based like WSL 2 and Linux on Chrome OS (Crostini), but with full systemd init.Disk is sparse and grows as you use it.

       "What about graphics?"Might be added in the future depending on demand, but not planned for now. Performance will likely be pretty bad without root.With root, it could be anywhere from easy to impossible. I'd have to look into it.

       "What about Windows on ARM?"Pretty much impossible without root. Very complicated even with root.I'll write a Patreon blog post with some scripts later this month, but not planning to make an app for it.

       "What about other devices?"Impossible on Qualcomm devices. Maybe with a custom kernel on Mediatek or Exynos, but I don't think any of them have KVM enabled out-of-the-box.

       Coming from Linux, one nice thing about macOS is the system-wide dark mode settingAll my apps support it (browser, editors, terminal) so my entire system switches from light to dark throughout the dayLight can be nice for readability. Fight me :)

       Believe it or not, OrbStack still has a lot of unoptimized codeA lot of it is still a v1 implementation
