It's funny how the concept of "distro" is losing importance now.

Do people really care if their docker containers run Ubuntu? Debian? RH? Not really

Also 90% of the pain in (traditional) distros seem to be the UI stuff (Window Manager, drivers, audio, etc). Not saying the other parts are not complicated, but upstream does most of the work there.

Distros do not exist because people want different Linux images to run their containers on top of.

For a second I thought you're completely missing the point but then you say this lol.

We don't run docker containers. We run programs.
