From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Android Studio isn't just a simple app, nor a single executable, AND it maps out to a bunch of local sockets to your already running host to provide various services. Certainly not going to be easy or stable in a container, especially since they are asking about emulation as well.
lots of good reasons to spin up containers for development is my point, especially for an embedded system with exotic system dependencies (compared to Node.js, for example).
Home Assistant is a “simple app” that i have to open ports for.
does that mean they have a good reason? maybe not.
Did you read that I was saying containers are bad somewhere? You have misread.
