> However, there are plenty of tools that are compatible with Docker but provide similar benefits. And Guix is one of them, remember? From the article: > Add -f docker [to your `guix pack` command] and, instead of a tarball, you get an image in the Docker format that you can pass to docker load on any machine where Docker is installed. :-) > The above is far and above much better than the current standard in the "official" world of Docker, but unfortunately because OBS has a UI from the early 2000s (which is when it was written) it doesn't get enough attention outside of the communities that use it (and enjoy using it a lot). This is so true! I've mostly moved on from traditional, imperative package managers and associated distros in favor of the functional package management paradigm exemplified by Guix, but I still recommend openSUSE to my friends who prefer a more traditional/mainstream distro because of the love I have for the Open Build Service and Zypper. The web interface for OBS does feel clunky these days, but it's a wonderful tool not just for improving the reliability and quality of software packages, but distributing them. Zypper is hands-down the most powerful and complete high-level package management tool I've ever used as part of a binary-based GNU+Linux distro. I love that openSUSE provides an instance of OBS that anyone can use for free to build packages for not just openSUSE but a TON of different distros. I wish more people would explore, take advantage of, and celebrate OBS just like I wish they'd do the same with Nix and Guix!
