LinuxKitNo features have been listed yet.
Based on our record, LinuxKit should be more popular than k3OS. It has been mentiond 9 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Note: Namespaces are a feature of the linux kernel. But Docker allows you to run containers on Windows and Mac... How does that work? The secret is that embedded in the Docker product or Docker engine is a linux subsystem. Docker open-sourced this linux subsystem to a new project: LinuxKit. Being able to run containers on many different platforms is one advantage of using the Docker tooling with containers. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
Another project that aims to deliver this is Linuxkit (https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit). All the components they ship are written in memory safe languages (usually Go) and run as containers under containerd. You can build a custom image very easily, fully defined as a YAML file. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

LF-Edge EVE project leverages Linuxkit to create custom OSs for Edge Devices which in turn leverages Containers as Lego Blocks. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
Behind the scenes Docker Desktop for Mac spawns a linuxkit VM with a bit of extra stuff like NFS to enable mounting Mac paths into containers. In the Docker Desktop settings you'll find the current resource assignment for that VM. That is pretty much reserved for docker so that it does not have to compete with MacOS processes for available resources. Source: over 3 years ago
I still don't forgive SUSE for buying Rancher and then unceremoniously killing k3os. They just left the website up and everything, made no announcement, made no attempt to help the community take over, just left the Github repo to rot: https://k3os.io/ Hard to have confidence in SUSE's commitment to another open source operating system side project after that. SUSE's announcement at the time: Like SUSE, Rancher... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
