Nothing really, I just think it won't impress. None of the stuff Ubuntu has ended up "me-tooing" their own special version of has enjoyed wide adoption. Edit:

That is partially what I mean, Ubuntu's "special replacements" for existing systems rarely get adopted outside of Ubuntu/Ubuntu forks.
> it could mean that Ubuntu's copy never gets popular.
I think this is primarily what will happen because it offers nothing truly unique that won't be easily/rapidly copied.
> LXD is using OpenStack, which is the 800 lb. gorilla of orchestration solutions - almost literally (3M lines of Python!).
Yeah. And I can use that already.
- rlpb 12y agoExcept Docker perhaps, which is a "me-too" originally based on LXC?
- sciurus 12y agoUbuntu/Canonical didn't create Docker.
- sp332 12y agoFweespeech's comment is confusing. It could mean that nothing copied by Ubuntu gets popular, or it could mean that Ubuntu's copy never gets popular.
- khc 12y agoUbuntu is a copy of debian that is quite popular.
- fweespeech 12y agoYes, but can you name another? Or shall I start listing off server software they've tried to make their own special version of and failed?
