  What makes you think that can’t happen to something just because it’s open source? And from all companies it’s from Canonical.

  It was from Canonical and I’m was never suggesting you run LXC/LXD from Canonical’s repos. The solution is available on Debian’s repositories and besides LXD was forked into Incus by the people who originally made LXC/LXD while working at Canonical that now work full time on the Incus project / keeping the solution truly open.

  It’s “Selfhosted” not “SelfHostedOpenSourceFreeAsInFreedom/GNU”. Not everyone has drank the entire open source punch bowl.

  Dude, I use Windows and a ton of proprietary software, I’m certainty not Richard Stallman. I simply used Proxmox for a VERY LONG time professionally and at home and migrated everything gradually to LXD/Incus and it performs a LOT better. Being truly open-source and not a potential CentOS/ESXi also helps.
