Without Google's grubby paws across most the web, it'd be much more like the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be, a welcoming place with open and accessible info!
If you don't want to pay to access a web search service, just use docker and run your own SearXNG instance! This will also allow you to host our own AI model that searches the web through SearXNG. While it may sound like a lot of work, it truly takes an afternoon and some unused RAM on your PC to make happen, then you're set up!
IMO: My personal problem with Docker is that it creates its own kind of vendor lock-in. Docker does not run on the server operating systems I use. The tendency is towards a Linux monoculture and that is never a good idea. Docker is a symptom, not a solution.
Is it really vendor lock-in if you can fork it at your whim?
forking doesn't really help with the underlying problem that docker is a layer to run on top of Linux's KVM. at a certain point though, it's become standard enough though that BSD not having a good way to support docker, or any other CRI containerization service for that matter, is a BSD failure, not a containerization failure
My understanding is that this is only true for docker desktop, which there's not really any reason to use on a server.
Sure, since containers use the host's kernel, any Linux containers do need to either have Linux as the host or run a VM (as docker desktop does by default), but that's not particularly unique to docker
