Eh, it is worse. Worse to the point that even though I just got a MaxBook, I won’t even conceive of getting rid of my 2020 maxed out Intel iMac. And it’s why I have other x86 machines too for Linux or whatever, because containers on macOS are rough but containers and Docker specifically on the M1 is really rough. It is clearly an ecosystem/use case that Apple doesn’t prioritize.
It makes the case for stuff like GiHub Codespaces or sshing into a remote machine via VS Code a lot more manageable. For everything else, the M1 is a beast, and even emulated, you can get a really good Linux experience (Windows too for that matter — games, obviously not withstanding), but containers? Nah. It’s worse than the already sad state on Intel Macs.
