From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Interesting move by Canonical. Wonder if this is related to the new GUI for LXD that Canonical released recently? Or maybe they want to bring more projects in-house after the RHEL shakeup?

Used it once or twice then stopped, prefer raw lxc or even just manually creating namespaces if I want control.

Never quite understood the point, the additional polish seemed fairly minimal from a utility pov.

They should take over proxmox or something, give themselves a complete story.

I don't know if I want a project as cool as Proxmox owned by the "you will use snap and you will like it" Canonical
