Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a tool that lets me start and manage lightweight Linux virtual machines from the command line, especially on Mac, with easy file sharing and port forwarding so it feels simple to use for local development.

I want to be able to install it, start a default VM, run Linux commands inside it, and also spin up setups for containers like containerd, Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. It should feel approachable for someone who just wants to work with Linux and containers without a lot of manual VM setup.

Please make it usable from the terminal, with clear defaults, helpful templates, and sensible docs so someone can get from install to running a container quickly. If you need to check current docs or platform details online, go ahead and look them up.

Are you gonna build this?
