I might not remember correctly but
[`lxc`](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/) came out around `2008`.
[Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/) in `2013`. The `lxc`
commands had the trend of dashes in their name --- `lxc-attach`, `lxc-snapshot`,
`lxc-copy` and so forth. It had lots of boilerplate and a steep learning curve.

Then [`lxd`](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/) arrived (in 2015?)
to make everything user friendly. `lxd` is preferred. I still mostly use `lxc`
out of habit.
