Yeah I have a recurring issue where docker desktop on Mac will use >100% cpu with no containers running (verified with docker ps and docker stats commands). I’ve tried all of the troubleshooting they have posted online. Currently got it down to ~40% cpu usage when idle, but no guarantee that it stays there.

Tried switching to podman with docker-compose and podman-compose, but can’t get the auth to work for private repos on dockerhub. So basically just accepting my fate of crazy idle memory and cpu usage.
