I didn't know that Docker desktop could be an issue.

The "app" I have the most problems with are Google Chat, and that just runs in the browsers.

One other issue I've seen is window server eating 150% CPU when using an external monitor. For some reason it works just unplugging the monitor and plugin it back in.

I think it’s because with Docker on macOS you’re actually running a Linux VM where it then runs Docker, so it can be a bit of a drain on some laptops.

Google Meet was a big problem for me until I cleaned out the dust.
