I thought Xen and OpenVZ etc. became obsolete with KVM? But it's probably for the best that Xen is still used.

Xen is a type 1 hypervisor, KVM is a type 2 hypervisor

It runs on the bare metal itself as dom0

Doh I meant LXC 🤦 instead of KVM.

LXC is for containers, rather than virtual machines

I was just saying “obsolete” isn’t a good description; All three still have uses depending on your goals

LXC is probably better for most people, and I think Podman is one of the best rootless container options
