I don't have an LXC reason at present to choose one or the other. For robotics, the most common messaging and application framework is called ROS, and it marches forward in step with Ubuntu LTS release. Choosing 20.04 allows us to choose the latest ROS version, which in this case has advantages in

We are using LXC in a medical device which has hard real time requirements. We use Yocto to build our embedded Linux distribution and have also used the RT_PREEMPT patch. We have had good results and the only issues we have seen were related to drivers that were fixed in upstream kernels. Once we

Based on some success using LXC as a development environment on my desktop, we're looking at using LXC containers to deploy software to our robotics platform. The deployment platform will be Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04, running on a custom kernel with the RT_PREEMPT patch applied, and probably using
