Very sad. LXC/D is pretty good system level container, much safer/isolated than docker/podman and lighter than VMs

@Gargari @leo You can still use LXC without LXD. I never used lxd since it’s pretty much snap only.

Yeah, I loved it and still use it on a few things. I’ve been using systemd-nspawn and find it to work a lot better than LXD

This is why Snaps need to be opposed across the linux ecosystem. When Canonical gets control, they are no different to other anti-open-source companies in how they want exclusive ownership and control over things that are fundamentally not theirs!

I thought RedHat was the big evil, but Canonical seems to become what Microsoft already is, with their EEE practice.

It was funny seeing people say they’re going to leave RH for Canonical.

Like okay. RH uses the GPL like Stallman intended, and people run to Canonical who make as much of their stuff as proprietary as possible.
