I haven’t been following, but that’s actually good to hear, proxmox needs a better ui.
LXD, I suppose for the migration, but for any more complex orchestration I think you’ve moving to k8s or something more serious, LXD just has an odd “not enough but too much” feature set for me, I like things either push-button, or let me do it, this is kind of both.
Love kde, but it needs to get that bloat down. Still snappy though.
Used it once or twice then stopped, prefer raw lxc or even just manually creating namespaces if I want control.
Never quite understood the point, the additional polish seemed fairly minimal from a utility pov.
They should take over proxmox or something, give themselves a complete story.
Cloud systems invented this concept called ‘declarative environments’ basically you describe the software in a container or os and the container orchestrator builds it for you. The same every time, you just give it a recipe.
Nixos is that for desktops.
It takes away a lot of the bullshit, experimentation and breaking of a classic os.
That being said, I always considered that the fun part, so ymmv.
It’s like docker for server applications, it takes care of everything for you behind the scenes and just works (ish).
Ah, ok, understood then, it didn’t fit my use-case or workflow, it works for others, my bad, appreciate the correction!
