<p dir="ltr">Oh great!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is there nothing this company won't screw up? This is Upstart and Unity all over again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This exists, and works. It works awesomely well as a matter of fact. And follows the industry standards for containers. The standard is called appc. Both Docker and Rocket already support this. But Snappy appears from all the appearance does not.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, it looks like Mark Shuttleworth is doing it again. I used to love Ubuntu, but know I think they are doing more damage than good.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They got pissy about SysV. They were right, it was great in its day, but was time for retirement. But rather than work with standards boards, they just pushed through Upstart. Failure, market segmentation, and incompatibilities...</p>
<p dir="ltr">They got pissy about Gnome3. And in the beginning they were right. But rather than working through Gnome to fix the problem, here comes Unity. More market failure, segmentation, and incompatibilities...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now LXC containers! Nobody has done more to secure Linux's inability to make headway against Windows and Mac on the desktop than Ubuntu. It's as if he is on Microsoft's payroll with the sole job of sabotaging Linux.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You want to see this done right? Look at CoreOS and Rancher. Want to really kick this up higher? Look at Kubenetes from Google.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These are people that work together. To show the difference in Ubuntu vs the right way...</p>
<p dir="ltr">CoreOS used Docker containers exclusively. They had an issue with some of the changes. They started work on Rocket. But when they did, they also worked on a spec towards a standard. This cut off Docker's unilateral moves, and moved everything to an industry standard... thus the appc spec. Both Rocker and Docker moved to the spec, and 3rd parties are now able to develop against a common standard. Ubuntu is now rather than working within that structure, is installing more segmentation, and incompatibilities, and most likely, more failure.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ugggghhhh!!!</p>
