Beyond Docker - A DevOps Engineer's Guide to Container Alternatives
Working with legacy applications that needed full system access taught me that a different way to do containerization is by using LXC/LXD. The focus in system containers, rather than application containers, can be thought of like a light VM rather than what most consider the typical container.

Top 5 Docker Alternatives for Software Developers in 2024
Linux Container Daemon (LXD) is a container and virtual machine manager developed by Canonical. It provides flexibility by offering a single process for multiple containers. It connects to the Linux container library (LXC) using a REST API. It is an add-on to LXC, providing more features and functionalities.

Opinions on linux? I wanna hear yalls opinion on it, because you can do some cool shit with it, heres my own rice for a basic idea of what random shit you can do w/ it
LXD is a manager for Linux Containers (LXC), which lets me spin up a kind-of lightweight VM for any distro, instantly. I use it to run proprietary software isolated from the rest of my system (such as Steam); disposable environments for trying stuff out, and running software that doesn't jive well with Nixos.
