Luckily it booted perfectly and I was able to fix the situation.

It was difficult to predict what would happen in the next boot because files could not be deleted to free up some space. Docker image building consumpted the last free 30 GB of my disk space and caused the filesystem go into readonly state. But there was one big issue recently that made my laptop useless for most of the day. I have been using both Beta and Stable and haven’t noticed big differences.

Docker for Mac performance is quite poor for this sort of IO intensive operations. I run source code analysis processes, git repository data mining and related ML processes (in development environment).
