Since Linux containers are just namespace tricks, a kind of glorified chroot, what does it mean that you run VMs from within containers? Sincerely curious'

I don't think OP means running VM from within containers (although, who knows, I mean I guess you could). LXD provides a management layer that treats containers and VMs (libvirt/KVM/QEMU VMs) mostly the same.

So commands like this work on both containers and VMs:

   lxc start fedora-desktop
   lxc mv pi-hole other-machine:pi-hole

etc

Yes they are. And they work very well and can be used in production
