Moved back to Debian because of lxc on Ubuntu requiring snaps. Turns out same problem on Debian. Snapd consumes 100% cpu. All. The. Time. Hoping Bookworm will solve it. Else I will be moving to Archlinux, which has lxc without snapd.

I don't think lxc on Debian has ever needed snapd?

lxd (not just lxc) is now also available as a deb package in debian:

They're probably running lxd (which is only packaged for snap as far as I know), lxd is controlled by the "lxc" command (which isn't part of lxc...).

Ah. This questionable decision is why I abandoned LXC for Docker (initially) and eventually Podman/k8s.

Interesting - I don't observe such behavior with snap/lxd on my Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 boxes.

Not a heavy user though - maximum 15-20 VEs (virtual enforcements) per server.

The "lxc" command runs lxd, you need to run "lxc-'command'" for actual lxc.

Bookworm now has lxd as natively packaged deb's in the main repository. It's very nice to setup.
