I use it in a vanilla KVM host to have lightweight VMs for Remote Desktop environments (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/02/2130 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/02/2130, https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/12/2330 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/04/12/2330). That way I can have full GNOME and XFCE desktops with different sets of developer tools installed, sharing the same projects tree on a bind mount, and to which I can remote via Xrdp (with audio, device sharing, the works). Like the two KVM Windows VMs running alongside, each LXC can have its own IP, outbound VPN connection and even Docker running as well, which is great. A single i7 with 32GB of RAM can have at least 3 people working on it without hassle, like an old time-sharing system. Myself, I stuck a Raspberry Pi to a monitor (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/08/14/2030 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2022/08/14/2030) and use it to access both GNOME and Windows desktops remotely. All of this works solely with Ubuntu system packages, so I have no third party software to install (yes, ok, snap is a pain, but the host only runs KVM and LXD, nothing else, and all distros have xorgxrdp these days). It’s like a lightweight Proxmox. In the past, I used LXC to host several of my services on a single beefy Linode box, and I would go that way again today - I already have a similar setup inside Parallels on my M1 Mac, with one LXC per project.
