    Parallels 19 - what's new and what's missing *technically* (no marketing speak)?

    Is it possible to speedup Docker using Parallels

    It seems that it's possible to run x86-64 apps in Docker on M1 platforms, but this is using under the hood qemu. qemu seems to be slow. Anyone knows if in theory or practice is possible to run x86 apps in Docker but instead of using qemu, use Parallels?
