The LXD project is no longer part of the Linux Containers project but can now be found directly on Canonical's websites.

Note: A community fork of LXD, Incus, is now part of the Linux Containers project.

LXC/LXD

LXD is a system container and virtual machine manager. It can create both system containers and virtual machines. Containers share the host's kernel, making them lightweight and fast, while VMs have their own isolated operating system and are more resource-intensive. It is built on top of Linux Containers (LXC).

LXC and LXD are both Linux container technologies, but LXD builds upon LXC to provide a more user-friendly and scalable experience. LXD is a more intuitive and user-friendly tool aimed at making it easy to work with Linux containers.

LXC is a low-level interface for using Linux kernel's container features, while LXD is a higher-level management tool that leverages LXC for container operations.

Linux Distros

There are many Linux distros available; I use Linux Mint. To see my initial desktop configuration for a fresh install of linux click HERE .
