### AI overview

The article argues that containerization and cloud-native software development have created an inflection point in open source software delivery. It presents the evolution from Linux Containers to Docker and the Open Container Initiative as milestones supporting a shift from traditional Linux distributions toward distroless, secure-by-design, continuously updated software.
