From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Am I wrong to assume that docker is perfect for single board computers that relies on low life expectancy drives (microsd)? (self.linux)

Title. Mostly because of two flags: --read-only and --log-driver.

I use docker myself on my RPi4, but the OS is on a 128 GB SSD connected through USB3. These SSD are pretty cheap nowadays and (likely?) more resilient than sdcards...
