Not really. Containerization has clear and obvious advantages over the traditional bare-metal approach.

Not really. Containerization has clear and obvious advantages over the traditional bare-metal approach.
- pjmlp 6y agoFor security purposes as used since the early days in mainframes and big iron UNIX, surely. As workaround for broken dependency management, not really.
- stickyricky 6y agoWhats the alternative?
- pjmlp 6y agoFix the dependencies story in what concerns Ruby and Python. Native binaries can easily do with static linking (fix glibc or replace it with proper libc like musl). Other platforms are doing quite fine without containers.
- young_unixer 6y agoI kind of agree with you. But in the Linux world no one has the intention to fix the package distribution problem except for that AppImage guy.
