    I love docker… I use it at work and I use it at home.

    But I don’t see much reason to use it on a laptop? It’s more of a server thing. I have no docker/podman containers running on my PCs, but I have like 40 of em on my home NAS.

      Yeah, I wonder if these people are just being grumpy grognards about something they don’t at all understand? Personal computers are not the use case here.

        “Grumpy Grognard”. Do we have flairs on Lemmy? I can subtitle myself, grumpy grognard.

        Fair point that laptops aren’t really the use case, though there have been times I’ve wanted to try things out on my laptop - actually that’s a reason I still want to learn podman or docker, because I hope it’s a way to try server-y things on my laptop without polluting my system, and being able to cleanly uninstall.

        But okay, space on servers. I have a VPS with 20gb storage. And that has to include my backup data that lives there.
