DroppieAs it's now Sept, the month agreed [reluctantly] by dad earlier this year for the penguinisation of his win10 pooter, i'm trying to steel myself for The Big Day [or week?]. All along, one of the several complications of this project has been the need for dad to keep using some of his fav legacy windoze pgms. Try as i might, i could not find Linux substitutes for them, nor use them via Wine, nor find online equivalents. Thus i plan, once the penguinisation itself is done, as part of all the subsequent tweaking & finessing, to create a win10 VM, in which will be his "special" pgms .. all offline ofc.
However, in the past week i stumbled across a possibility i'd not considered, & about which i know almost nothing. #Containerisation, one type of which is something called #Docker, which i've heard of vaguely for years but never investigated as i assumed it was a higher level thing for Devs & Sys Admins, not a clueless plonker, apparently in recent years gained an ability to run windoze in linux, not only linux in linux & linux in windoze, as in its earlier years.
So now i'm scrabbling to try & research/learn about this, re if it is viable, & might be a better alternative to the VM i'd intended. One thing i've just read is
https://ops4devs.info/container-technologies/docker-windows-on-linux-running-windows-containers-seamlessly/
OMZ what garbage! I found it nearly incomprehensible, all sizzle & no sausage, chock a block full of management-consultant buzzwords, but entirely lacking in ANY guidance about HOW to bloody well DO it. Also, it was discombobulating how often it jumped between windoze & linux as its host systems... tis supposed to be about windoze dockers on linux, so wtf does it keep referring to docker on windoze? Is it nothing but AI slop?
