ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Linux containers

Linux containers are like mini-computers that exist inside your regular computer. Think of it kind of like a tiny dollhouse inside a regular house. All of the things you need to run different programs, called 'applications', live inside the little dollhouse. That way, each application has its own space and doesn't get confused with the other applications. Linux containers are a great way to keep your computer organized and running well.
