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.

Docker is not optimized for desktop and Flatpaks aren't optimized for running services. You'll spend more time & effort making both of them work and still end up with sub-optimal experiences.
Thank you for this info!
One cold argue that "desktop" is merely a kind of a service
To everyone's detriment
