This is what has been scaring me about Linux in the last 10 years as it seems we have been talking mostly about containers & ended up in a strange place:
- a lot of project distribute a docker image or we have community "distributions" like linuxserver.io. But nothing come close to a good distribution package management so far,
- the security of containers is still very unclear,
misunderstood & unequal,
- the ecosystem is now fragmented between docker, podman, etc.
- generally it feels like things have become more complicated !
We also now do see new generation (?) of distributions centered around containers like CoreOS, MicroOS or even Silverblue.
My questions would be: is the BSD world trying go move this way too with bsdpot & potluck or consider this is not the way to go or this just a distraction and Ports will always be the way to distribute software?
