I really liked lxc but then one day it turned out that it was replaced by lxd and you had to install Ubuntu to use it and I switched to docker (now on podman).



lxc was not replaced by lxd. they are separate projects, neither of which require ubuntu.


Do you really have to use Ubuntu for LXC? My (Debian-based) Proxmox has LXC capability, and it's easy to find instructions to other Linuxes, like so: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LXC. Is there something I'm missing?


I think they're referring to the Linux Containers project focussing more heavily on LXD and pushing it as a better "front end" to LXC - but LXD has not been available directly on Debian until Bookworm was released .. a month ago.
