That's pretty decent. I'm not convinced about the 16 core limit though, the 12700H has 6 P-cores, 8 E-cores and 6 threads, totalling "20 cores". Not the best chip to benchmark multicore workloads

I used to use LXC maybe 5 years ago but I've since replaced everything with docker/compose. The main difference between LXC and Docker is that LXC is meant to be more like a Virtual Machine than a container. LXC containers run their own instance of systemd and can run multiple processes easily. Docker is meant to run a single process although people sometimes do hacks with supervisord or s6 overlay to run multiple processes.
At the time LXC didn't really have a concept of images like Docker, it was just base images like Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 9 and you'd shell in the container and install your stuff.
LXD is a tool built on top of LXC, confusingly enough the LXD client is called lxc
... It's higher level and might have the ability to use images, not sure, I never felt the need to learn it.
