They customise, backport patches, and use different kernel versions.
If you run kernel version A in docker, and try and run a container that was designed to use kernel version B you may run into problems.
- josephcsible 4y agoNote that because of Linus's strict policies on userspace compatibility, A>B is basically guaranteed to always be safe, and only A<B will ever cause problems, unless distros add patches that break things.
- Maursault 4y agoSure, I can imagine, but that is merely a bug, or perhaps the compatibility issue stems from misuse of a general but inaccurate claim of "Linux compatible." My expectation is specific compatibility is stated plainly in the documentation and on the box, if there is one, without ambiguity.
