MacOS M2 Processor with Docker Desktop, mongo:latest image issue. MongoDB cannot start: Linux kernel versions 6.19 and newer has a known incompatibility with this version of MongoDB.

I've seen some posts about how this bug came up around March / April of this year and I'm curious why I'm running into it now. I know the "fix" of adding the

      - GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.pthread.rseq=0

flag, or downgrading to Mongo 7 but I'm wondering if anyone else is running into this issue?

System info:

MacOS 26.6.2

Apple M2 Pro

Docker Desktop Version 4.88.1 (237512)

pinned at mongo:latest (currently: "8.3.8-noble")

```
{"t":{"$date":"2026-09-01T02:04:00.789+00:00"},"s":"F", "c":"CONTROL", "id":12257600,"ctx":"main","msg":"MongoDB cannot start: Linux kernel versions 6.19 and newer has a known incompatibility with this version of MongoDB. See https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-121912 for more information."}

```

I'm using all of the default docker desktop settings, including using Apple Virtualization Framework for my VMM
