From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have to admit I like the concept of rootless containers very much.
I did too until I tried to use them. They lack several features that rooted containers have, and a lot of howtos take for granted. They're fine for very simple containers, but expect pain an suffering.
You can do that with docker too, not that it's flawless of course, networking is just awful. Same thing on Podman.
