LXD started once as a (new) management tool for LXC container (mostly system containers in contrast to Docker). Later (I think with version 4) they expanded to manage VMs as well. So, you might be able to manage a virtual Windows instance with LXD, but you don’t use container technology. Fedora doesn’t include a LXD RPM. There is a RPM in COPR [1], which is maintained by one person, who is very active (at least in the past, I actually don’t use it anymore). And you can install it via another packaging tool, snap. So LXD on Fedora might not be such a superior user experience.
