I’m more of an LXC kind of guy, but I get the switch. I don’t do much docker these days, outside of a few work scenarios outside of my control.
Personally I don’t like RH under IBM, so I won’t go with fedora either. Fantastic community, bad business behind it (a story as old as time).
Its one of the reasons I appreciate Debian as much as I do, and contribute with Sid as often as I can, mostly using sid as a mirror of what I’m doing on my Deb stable boxes and finding breaks.
I don’t have a really good reason not to use LXCs right now. I use VMs because that’s what I knew when I started with Proxmox and the Internet seems pretty divided on when each one shines over the other. The goal of my switch to podman was twofold: switch to rootless and use something with better systemd support. I was hacking together unit files for docker using some pretty dumb tricks, none of that is necessary with quadlets though.
What’s the benefit in your eyes for LXC over VM? I don’t run Windows or anything so using the host kernel isn’t an issue for me. I do sometime have problems with OOM kills taking out a VM though, but my understanding is if it were an LXC that kill could have hit a much more important process than my general apps VM.
E: As far as Fedora under IBM… I don’t like it either. I’m relatively prepared to jump back to Debian though, I’ve kept my Andi key playbooks updated for both Fedora and Debian just in case I have to go back.
This is what I eventually settled on too. Switched servers to Fedora last year though as part of switching from docker to podman.
