Docker for Mac (Docker Desktop) Docker for Mac requires that you’re running Mojave 10.14+ or newer with an Intel CPU. M1 support is on its way. You can run VirtualBox 6+ alongside Docker Desktop. This is pretty useful because you might have some legacy apps running in Vagrant / VirtualBox to deal with (I know I do!). Hi, This is a 'me too' for this issue. The graphics perform.much. better (albeit not extremely fast) with any 5.0. version of VirtualBox.However, with any 5.1. version of VirtualBox, the graphics is quite slow (e.g. Moving a window across the screen is.very. slow and laggy), which renders the use of RedHat on VirtualBox extremely difficult and frustrating. I'm running latest 4.3 VirtualBox on a Macbook Pro Mid-2012 (USB ports are 3.0) and, just like you all, had problems with an USB 3.0 external drive. I couldnt get it to work on host machines. I couldnt get it to work on host machines.
