Its nice having the flexibility for both system containers and application containers. It does feel though that most people forget that nspawn does both, and that it only can do system containers.

Agreed, I briefly forgot it can do both. Thanks for the reminder.

I went down the rabbit hole of Incus and once I realized it requires the full network aspects to be configured, then I figured using KVM, QEMU, Libvirt was more practical. Then stumbled into nspawn and it was basically ready to go.

Although, I haven’t done enough research to know if Incus provides certain useful capabilities.
