Docker debuted to the public in Santa Clara at PyCon in 2013. [47] It was released as open-source in March 2013. [20] At the time, it used LXC as its default execution environment. One year later, with the release of version 0.9, Docker replaced LXC with its own component, libcontainer, which was written in the Go programming language. [18] [48]
Distros have been designed for a wide variety of systems ranging from personal computers (for example, Linux Mint) to servers (for example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and from embedded devices (for example, OpenWrt) to supercomputers (for example, Rocks Cluster Distribution). A distro typically includes many components in addition to the Linux ...
Docker, Inc. is an American technology company that develops productivity tools built around Docker, which automates the deployment of code inside software containers. [1] [2] Major commercial products of the company are Docker Hub, a central repository of containers, and Docker Desktop, a GUI application for Windows and Mac to manage containers.
Due to its robustness and compactness, Alpine Linux is tightly integrated with popular developer and system administrator environments and toolsets. Microsoft Store offers a deployment-ready version of Alpine WSL [24] for WSL2; Docker offers official images of Alpine Linux [25] Microsoft PowerShell provides an Alpine Linux specific build [26]

Linux From Scratch Live CD (live CD inactive) – used as a starting point for a Linux From Scratch installation; Nanolinux – 14 MB distro on an installable live CD with BusyBox and Fltk, for desktop computing
The wsl.exe command accesses and manages Linux distributions in WSL via command-line interface (CLI) – for example via Command Prompt or PowerShell. With no arguments it enters the default distribution shell. It can list available distributions, set a default distribution, and uninstall distributions. [31]
Void is a notable exception to the majority of Linux distributions because it uses runit as its init system instead of the more common systemd used by other distributions. [12] It is also unique among distributions in that separate software repositories and installation media using either glibc or musl are available.
Container Linux provides no package manager as a way for distributing payload applications, requiring instead all applications to run inside their containers. Serving as a single control host, a Container Linux instance uses the underlying operating-system-level virtualization features of the Linux kernel to create and configure multiple containers that perform as isolated Linux systems.
