Hi! Question in the title.

I get that its super easy to setup. But its really worthwhile to have something that:

runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)
you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it
lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules...)

I always host on bare metal when I can, but sometimes (immich, I look at you!) Seems almost impossible.

I get docker in a work environment, but on self hosted? Is it really worth while? I would like to hear your opinions fellow hosters.

And they don't consider anything else and they they get themselves into CentOS situations. Or large monopolies like what Microsoft has over Office.

But so what? The kind of people who do this were not going to be grand contributors to FOSS anyway. They're just consumers, not makers, and they consume the products that make the most sense to them.

Also, let's not lay everything solely on consumer stupidity. Microsoft spends a crapton of money lobbying governments, administrations, universities, schools and so on around the world to maintain their monopoly. Corruption at all levels of society is a big factor.
