Yeah talk about reinventing the wheel so Linux people don’t have to learn a slightly different system (one that is ironically easier to use and better organized than Oci containers).

Jails are not containers.

By what definition would LXC be containers and jails not be?

Jails are great but are not OCI-compliant.

Then Podman for FreeBSD exists for a while too.

But it relied on Linux virtual machines didn't it?

So? They predate a standard which was basically extracted from Docker.

I think the OCI factor being noted here is the packaging not the containerized runtime.
