Maybe for you but LXC is very useful for deploying development environment isolated for each developers. systemd-nspawn is quite simple but LXC provides tooling that makes operations easier.

Docker and LXD serve different purposes. Docker is meant for an app to be run isolated but LXD can run a whole OS.

Podman can actually quite easily run host environments in containers with systemd running as PID1, giving you very similar features as LXC.

Checkout `podman run --rootfs`

I actually run all my Docker containers in an LXC container.
