Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDon’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.
It’s absurd but Linux is far worse. Instead of addressing library bloat and versioning we have Docker which just throws EVERYTHING into a bag and makes you download an entire OS environment space to run one app.

And that is perfect. Instead of setting up one VM for each service and manually updating all dependencies, I’d much rather use that very handy bag with everything in it.

But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.

You complained about docker putting everything into a bag and I tried to argue that this approach was better because there is no need to consider library versions conflicting between apps.
