Multipass is a lightweight, well compared to Docker and K8S. Its easy to install on MacOS and Linux and provides full fledged environment to test apps, build code etc.

I am these days using to quickly test things and build code on my lcoal system.

Interesting tool. I think this is more valuable for Windows and MacOS users

Though on Windows these days an inbuilt linux support is present. I have not used it though

I have tried Windows Subsystem for Linux once. I had a Python script with a GTK GUI and I couldn't get it render properly on Windows. I think WSL works nicely, at least better than Cygwin but I don't know if WSL supports Linux containers and container managers like Docker. Last time I have seen Docker on Windows it run the containers on CoreOS in Virtualbox.
