I still don't understand what LXD does that LXC doesn't do. LXC is significantly more popular. All the major control panels (like Proxmox, SolusVM, Virtualizor, etc) support OpenVZ or LXC but not LXD.
Okay.I'm not going to argue about this but here's a description : https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/lxd
I'm not trying to argue? I legitimately don't know what advantages LXD has since I don't see it used widely in the industry, whereas LXC is everywhere.
LXD is to LXC what Podman or Distrobox is to Docker (if I'm correct, it's just a convenient wrapper that does extra bits/builds on LXC)
LXD also has some cool features like launching VMs in a way that's nearly indistinguishable from containers, which can be useful if you need to do something like run a distro that uses cgroups v1 (e.g. CentOS 7) on a more modern distro.
Yep I was trying to remember, it's been a long time since I used it!
