LXC and Docker comparisons vastly differ depending on the use case and problem segment. I use LXC as a tiny, C-only library to abstract namespaces and cgroups for embedded usage [1]

LXC is a fantastic userland library to easily consume kernel features for containerization without all the noise around it… but the push for the LXD scaffolding around it missed the mark. It should’ve just been a great library and that’s how we use it when running containers on embedded Linux equipment
