They serve a sole real purpose, open door to proprietary software on GNU&amp;#x2F;Linux destroying it&amp;#x27;s community model.&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#x27;t run unsafe software in safety, it&amp;#x27;s a myth. Or worse is giving trust to a specific tech and so ignore both it&amp;#x27;s potential mistrust and other software security implications.&lt;p&gt;The future for me is Nix{,OS}&amp;#x2F;Guix{,SD} certainly not &amp;quot;chroots&amp;quot;&amp;#x2F;&amp;quot;jails&amp;quot;&amp;#x2F;&amp;quot;zones&amp;quot;&amp;#x2F;&amp;quot;lpar&amp;quot;&amp;#x2F;*.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Container Linux on the Desktop [slides]</title><url>https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17Hml1iFqdXElxOcrh9caQSC5px5mDgaS015Vhaz42ZY</url></story>

Elegant in the way it&amp;#x27;s done.&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, running container images for wmeverything including text editor seems like a NIMBYism in OS and packages. There is a reason why our OSes evolved with package managers. Sharing and reusing common libraries so that they can be updated once safely. Bug in libsodium? Update libsodium in your system, and all applications that use it automatically get new version.&lt;p&gt;With containers, you have to rely on each and every container to update libsodium...&lt;p&gt;Secondly, it takes away the sharing so you have several copies of libraries for each applications you use as containers.. What does it do to memory usage, and disk usage?&lt;p&gt;Very interesting either way, and got me thinking about using such for specific cases.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Container Linux on the Desktop [slides]</title><url>https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17Hml1iFqdXElxOcrh9caQSC5px5mDgaS015Vhaz42ZY</url></story>
