If everything is a container, does that mean processes have failed?
So no.. processes haven't failed. Anything that runs on your system is or is part of a process.

> embracing of simple GUI tools over terminal wankery, eschewing of the legacy UNIX file hierarchy. So you're telling me I have no tools and no existing tools are going to work. Good to get that out in the open, I suppose.
God forbid someone not create another Ubuntu derivative that isn't substantively different than every other Linux distro on earth, right?

After spending a scant few minutes looking at it, here are the things I like about this project so far: - It has a "How and why are we different" page. In the age of "I made a meta package on top of Ubuntu and called it a new OS", it's refreshing to see a Linux distribution come right out and say "here's what we do that separates us from the other 700". - It actually is different. Recognizing the nigh-uselessness of…
Run as root to avoid typing sudo or su? That is like having a handgun without the safety! No thank you!

There is Fedora CoreOS, it seems pretty active. https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker
I'm actually looking for a good container hosting OS right now. I remember hearing some stuff about CoreOS being deprecated or something, but I can't find anything concrete?! Do you know what the situation is? I also looked a bit at RancherOS today, which looked pretty cool, but it seems to use 10x the memory of CoreOS...

If you're mainly just looking for something with Docker preinstalled VMWare's PhotonOS[0] may be an option. It's a stripped down CentOS/RHEL based distro that's targeted at being a container host. I believe they've said they'll also package other container runtimes in the future as the market shifts. [0] https://vmware.github.io/photon/
A quick look shows the ISO as ~4GB, which is a bit concerning though - CoreOS is around 450MB, and RancherOS only 135MB (although it's a bit difficult to compare, since they both download stuff during boot).

Do you have a point to make about how this is better , or is this change for the sake of change?

Containers run processes, in a context where those within a container only see those within the same container, by underlying OS accounting generalization.

Thanks, this isn't one I've come across! A quick look shows the ISO as ~4GB, which is a bit concerning though - CoreOS is around 450MB, and RancherOS only 135MB (although it's a bit difficult to compare, since they both download stuff during boot).
