I like how a co-worker is expecting a Windows Container to work in Linux, and vice versa.

No, it doesn't work like that you fucking baffoon, Linux rootfses needs the Linux kernel (hence why it runs on WSL2 or Hyper-V using LCOW), and same can be said for Windows Containers.

How dumb of a human being must you assume everything should "just work" in a container?

Mentally lazy is unfortunately the norm.

*takes two toasts and makes a Gordon ramsay dummy sandwich*

A VM is a virtual machine, it can run anywhere as long as the virtualization solution can be run on the host.

A container has nothing to do with a virtual machine - it uses the hosts system interfaces and forms thus a bond with the host system.

That is why Docker Desktop has a Linux VM that gets booted to run Docker containers... Cause yeah. Windows system interfaces don't work on Linux and Linux system interfaces don't work _native_ on Windows.

@IntrusionCM I think we’re all pretty well aware here :)

Well, it is the promise of containers, right ?

"It just works".

I never worked with docker. but I would expect my container running on any OS without me doing a single thing. If it is not the case, then 80% of interest is gone

@Root Hm, guess this was an automated answer xD ;)

@NoToJavascript Well .... :)
