cons:

  • has to enable linux containers
  • can't use native filesystem for emulated applications because it's a completely different environment
  • potential for performance issues given that it's literally a non standard environment
  • wastes a bunch of disk space
  • requires an entire secondary system to be maintained and updated

pros:

  • can technically run linux applications
