Yeah, venvs are the answer to “why is that folder 8gb?”
Containers are the answer to “why is my hard drive completely full”
They are both the answer to “why is my project not working here where it’s working there” and “why do I need 17 copies of libc in their own little soft jails?”
Docker took off because Ubuntu can’t run current software. Now you need multiple copies of an up to date Linux visualized just to keep it interacting with old software on a base system we insist we need.
If all your docker images prove that an up to date Linux can run, then why not just make the main system up to date and you won’t need docker as much.
That’s so stupid.

… virtual environments?
Docker
ok sure. but FYI, venv is basically the same thing if it’s python based.

Hold up, are people just out there not using Alpine for a container base image?
meh, someone probably forgot to nuke old images
Thank you for mentioning this! In thought I was the worlds only moron who filled 1tb with stale docker images.
And that kids, is when I learned about
prune - aYes
What morons!
*Hides 100gb of VM images in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ on his 230gb SSD*
That’s fine because those vms are configured by and run on nix.
Nope. They are configured on Debian and run on arch btw
