    I don't get what's the point of this when we have something like Virtualbox ?
    I find Virtualbox easy enough and very user friendly.
    Or it's another dead-end project because Canonical is suffering from NIH syndrome ?
    And I really wonder when they will stop with the Snap crap...

      Something like Vagrant is probably more comparable.

          What's the use case for a "mini cloud" on a workstation? Why not just utilize actual cloud services? I don't see why anyone would want to run such a thing locally on their pc.

              Devs use VMs to test out infrastructure and networks all the time.

                  When reading this article, I was wondering what the Canonical haters zealots would have to complain about this time.

                  anarki2 and Danny3 are leading the race for now.

                  I was expecting better trolls though.

                    Ah yes, classic Canonical tactical. Any criticism is trolling or FUD.
