Linux distros can help pick a winner. If installing Valkey is just `apt install valkey`, but Redis requires compilation/extra repos to get going, people will just choose Valkey. See also: MariaDB.

- fnord123 1y agoIs there a useful metric to see if that's really the case? Using the distos package manager means you're at the mercy of the packager for getting new versions. Docker is just as easy and doesn't suffer from this. And building from source gives you full control. Even when using test services, using docker works best since all the Devs will be on the same version instead of splitting between Debian, fedora, and brew versions.
