This might be a dumb question, So my Toshiba satellite m100-221’s CPU supposedly has CPU support for virtualization, but there is no BIOS update file anywhere so is there a way to run OpenWrt and Debian as my docker host without virtualization or some type of virtualization that doesn’t need CPU support and doesn’t run terribly, I found that I can use OpenWrt as my docker host https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/virtualization/docker_host?s[]=go&s[]=option has anyone tried that does it work nicely?
edit: I tried openwrt as my docker host it works fine enough

    Docker is not virtualisation, although it’s a common misconception.

    A better way to think of it is a security wrapper around untrusted processes.

    You can prove this for yourself by looking at all the processes running in a Docker host while one or more containers are running, you’ll see all the processes listed.

    In other words, you don’t need a CPU capable of virtualisation to run Docker.

      This.

      Also containerization in general. Not just docker. This includes podman and LXC (which is probably your best bet if you want a full system in a container)
