this is the absolute nadier of container/cloud/devsecops chinstrap hipster nonsense. we want to turn the entire system into a docker container because reasons? without ever addressing the sins of flatpak and the performance hit from containerization vs bare metal? what exactly is the win here?
"Bootc allows you to make an OS the same way you make an application, using containers!"
but why.
"There is no denying that most applications are shipped today as a Docker container"
postfix, dovecot, nginx, veloren, gnome, hell roughly 16,000 packaged applications in the EPEL repository do not insist upon themselves as containers. Forgejo doesnt require a docker container either. the only people pushing docker are developers who are trapped toiling with some teetering monstrosity of rails/gunicorn/pypi dependencies that are so odious and brittle to deploy in a normal fashion that a containerized offering is the only way people would ever use them in the first place.
is this just another attempt to market capture my desktop with a proprietary backend store like snaps? or force me to sign up for a docker account just to log into my laptop? did a docker C level write this?
