Except, well, I don't care. All my images derive from ubuntu, so I pay the download cost once, due to docker having this whole delta thing going on, and storage cost really isn't a problem. Developers know how to apt-get usually, so that's less support cost on me. In fact, most of them run ubuntu themselves, which is a massive help with dev to prod parity. Oh and of course, there are more packages and a whole lot more forums/community etc etc.
Sure. I'm still paying it once per box lifetime, which really isn't too bad. And given I'm orchestrating stuff etc etc, I can use fairly large boxes and get quite a lot of work out of one lifetime.
This thread needs to get nuked by admins. Amount of "downvote because I disagree", "upvote whatever because hype" is astounding. Your response is an example. It's better articulated then many others [0], [1] and yet it was downvoted to hell. Groupthink is strong.
