Yeah, political violence is a slippery slope. They should've thought of that when they started it.

It's still bad, and the foundation keeps digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole. Dead project.
A fresh Debian container uses 22 MiB of RAM. A fresh debian VM uses 200+ MiB of RAM.
A VM has to translate every single hardware interaction, a container doesn't.
I don't want to fuck flies about the definition of 'huge' with you, but that's kind of a huge difference.
Correct.
Side note- people will tell you not to put dockers in an LXC but fuck em. I don't want to pollute my hypervisor with docker's bullshit and the performance impact is negligeable.
I recommend you use containers instead of VMs when possible, as VMs have a huge overhead by comparison, but yes. Each service gets its own container, unless 2 services need to share data. My music container, for example, is host to both Gonic, slskd and Samba.

Just reading free resources on the interweb.
And it relies on the US, so it's flaky
They use some of the same kernel functions but they are not the same. They are not comparable. LXCs are used to host a whole separate system that shares kernel with its host, docker is used to bundle external requirements and configs for a piece of software for ease of downstream setup. Docker is portable, LXCs much less so.
LXCs are not comparable to Docker, they do different things.
I can feel a brain aneurysm edging closer when I try to read this so I'll take your word for it

This is basic life philosophy. Nothing is perfect, but you can choose which problems you want to deal with. Linux presents the least amount of struggle to fixing the problems it gives me, so I use Linux everywhere.
