A meme? You've said it simplifies dependencies and then go on saying you can install stuff locally, forgetting how much of a nightmare it is to maintain OS-level dependencies, especially when an app depends on a specific version and another app depends on another version.

Containers solve real problems and are here to stay. Feel free not to use them, but saying they're a meme is just trying to be edgy.

Keep on containerising applications.

Sincerely, a sysadmin that has been fighting conflicting dependency requirements, deprecated packages and major distro upgrades for more than a decade.
