Apple just unveiled a Swift-based “containerization” feature at WWDC 2025 that lets macOS run Linux workloads in lightweight VMs — think WSL, but for M-series Macs. In this video, we unpack how it works, why each container gets its own tiny VM, and what it means for developers who juggle macOS hardware with Linux tooling. We also weigh Apple’s move against projects like Asahi Linux, discuss performance on Apple Silicon, and ask whether this finally makes the Mac a friendlier home for open-source devs.
