Who says you can't use containers on the desktop? https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desktop/ https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk... She gives some good reasons why it can be a good thing; it sounds interesting - I've thought of trying it myself, and might with a new future system. It's downsides (though this may have changed since I last saw this and looked into it) would be difficulty setting it up, and that some applications might need some tweaking to get them to play nice (?). It still seems like something fun to play around with. Container'd (?) apps would make for an easier system to admin overall, I think. Oh - yeah, SNAPS are kinda a refining of the idea of running individual apps in their own containers, from what I understand (plus making it easier to package apps so that they will run anywhere properly - at least, that's the way I understand it; I haven't done a lot of research on it). Anyhow - I was a bit confused by this release, too - it does seem server focused, but the mention of SNAPS makes me wonder if they aren't trying to move in that direction, that is, a more unified system that isn't differentiated between desktop or server (or whatever), and is just a container ecosystem of apps for whatever you want to use the system for?
