It's absolutely not a bad thing, indeed I think it's a good thing to use binaries from Debian. I just think the name of the project is strongly misleading. "distroless" is built from the Debian distribution, not something new made from scratch.
- hobofan 7y agoNot sure how widespread that view is, but that's never the association I would have made. "Xless" is just a different way of saying "without X". "fearless" = "without fear"; "serverless" = "without a server" (yes, I know, not really); so "distroless" = "(comes) without a distribution" So in my opinon the name correctly suggests that it's "just the package" and comes "without a distro", and not "was built without the help of a distribution".
