Ask HN: Do you trust/install Docker in your personal computer?

I'm no longer using a separate computer from my employer and containers' security always worried me. Using VMs is very cumbersome in my opinion. I haven't used Docker in years, do you think it's safe enough now to install in your main computer (Linux host)? It's not like I'm going to test malware inside the containers but there's a lot of 3rd-party dependencies living there.

If you do trust Docker, what precautions would you take? Running without root is viable?

I'm aware of https://github.com/docker/docker-bench-security
