It's not the year of the Linux desktop just because your billionaire buddy is using it. If anything, it's been the year of the Linux desktop for many of us for years, you're all late to the party.

"Looks like each container gets its own lightweight Linux VM."
Not a container "as such" then.
How hard is it to emulate linux system calls?

Just replace the XNU kernel with Linux already.
Because the rest of the system uses a bunch of things that have no drop-in Linux equivalent - SIP, Mach ports, firmlinks, etc.
Those can be emulated with the likes of SELinux, sockets, and bind mounts. It will take a lot of effort and some adaptation, but it could be done.
If they're going this way, why not just replace the macOS kernel (XNU) with Linux? They'll get so much more.
