Research direction

Read the commented OrbStack entries in nix-darwin/configuration.nix and nix-darwin/flake.nix, including the Homebrew cask configuration. Enable the installation and configuration in both files, then verify that the nix-darwin configuration evaluates successfully and OrbStack is included as the intended Docker Desktop alternative.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Install OrbStack for container and VM management.

OrbStack is currently commented out in:

  • nix-darwin/configuration.nix
  • nix-darwin/flake.nix (as a Homebrew cask)

This is a GUI application that provides Docker Desktop alternative with better performance.
