Then 400MB can be allocated for a VM (or several)

Let me track the power consumption and imagine some minimalist-homelab use-cases ...

This appear to use https://github.com/dockur/windows which is a VM inside a Docker container?

It looks like some are doing this for decoupling or context isolation it is over engineering ?... but if it works enough... any thoughts ?

@rzr but why.... what example use case would this be useful in?

At least (stress) testing purposes...

It could make sense for edge computing eventually... or DiY "battery operated solar powered portable environments"
