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.

Yeah, meanwhile I’ll keep using LXD / Incus for both containers and VMs.
Incus has a few advantages: an image repository, a nicer container manager (cli tools) and sane security defaults. By default Incus assumes your containers should be isolated and secure environments while
systemd-nspawnis more about quick and dirty containers useful to compile something or run some trusted task.This is really hard to read.
Yeah, I was typing from my phone while being distracted by other people. Fixed now.
Thanks, that's much easier to read. :)
