Userspace containers don’t provide the level of reproducibility that is required for a scientific experiment, though.

I disagree. The poet Gary Snyder thought space travel was unimaginative - that living life as things are on earth was more interesting and challenging. Owning the Washington Post gives him control over a high visibility U.S. news operation. Nothing vanity about that.

ah, yes ... there's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all.

TLP is definitely the trick. TLP makes a huge difference in improving battery life while on suspend in Linux - especially since laptop makers stopped supporting S3 sleep.

I think people are missing the contribution of bootc and composefs. This is a big part of what undergirds Red Hat's new 'image mode' means of deployment. They're using container-related tooling to deploy whole operating systems, and it's a large part of where they're headed.

I write this to say, "This is not them dumping abandonware." To me, it's them putting these technologies under the supervision of a neutral third party to encourage adoption.
