i would only be running Amazon Linux inside a container. i switched over to Ubuntu when they were dragging their feet on getting Python3 packages working, and had a broken screen command. i have stayed on Ubuntu ever since.
i am fundamentally a Slackware kind of user, taking care of lots of technical details, even helping Pat to port it to Sparc. i ran a few other distros on the side and later in VMs to run tests of my software. but in my old age and retirement i decided to cut back and switched to pre-built hardware and more broadly used/supported distro. so here i am with a self-installed Xenial on a System76 laptop that originally came with Trusty and launching cloud instances instead of building servers. but i won’t be installing Bionic, instead going with F… 20.04 a couple months after it comes out. i will probably end up running my nearly-full original Xenial inside a container.
