I’m starting to embrace containers on my PC for software I want to use once without littering my home folder with junk files. It’s nice.

@mckinley@mckinley.cc That’s actually one of the most useful aspects of so-called “containers”, really images, or effectively tarball(s) with a full userland that you can effectively chroot in to.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Nice. Compiling problematic software is my #1 use of containers on my PC. I use a handful of them on my server.
