#2It's a bad sign that the first table on the page is full of errors.
"Can only host Linux" -- Windows Containers are a thing too: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscont...
"Can host a single app" -- not true either. It's just bad practice to host multiple apps in a single container, but it's definitely possible.
IMHO it's not very nice to use the generic-sounding "linuxcontainers.org" domain exclusively for LXC-related content there.

On incus/lxd is true there containers can only be Linux..
Not sure about the one app thing but that’s the general design of those ad well I suppose.

Which just validates my point that a generic-sounding domain is the wrong place to host content that even within the Linux ecosystem is a relatively minor player.

lxc is used really frequently in the home space (jellyfin/plex for instance). A lot of Proxmox use cases as well which is growing in popularity extremely rapidly.

linux containers, be it a lxd container, or a containerd/dockerd one, only run on linux hosts.
windows containers, only run on windows hosts.
when you run a linux container on a windows host, you're actually running a linux container inside of a linux vm on top of a windows host.
containers share the host operating system's kernel. it is impossible for a linux container (which is just a linux process) to execute and share the windows kernel. the reverse is true, a windows container (which is just a process) cannot execute and share the linux kernel
the article is correct, linux containers can only execute on a linux host

I’m not sure I follow. Are you suggesting OP has an incorrect apex domain name?

#9As I always say: a VM makes an OS believe that it has the machine to itself; a container makes a process believe that it has the OS to itself.
