I imagine that OrbStack has containerd buried inside somewhere and could support ctr and (awkwardly) nerdctl, but if so it’s pretty well hidden.

I build containers for multiple platforms using orbstack, and that requires the containerd backend. So yes, it's in there somewhere.

Huh. Are you actually talking to containerd directly or are you just doing something via the docker frontend that requires containerd to function?

Presumably it's talking to the docker daemon which itself farms some piece out to containerd? I'm really not sure how the integration works.
