LXD is easier to work with for most use cases. LXC is more low level, while LXD gives you a cleaner interface and better management features. For anything beyond basic usage, LXD makes more sense.

### Comment 3

LXD has an API and a very functional CLI that LXC lacks.  Come over to the ScottiBYTE YouTube channel where I have over 60 videos on various aspects of LXD usage.  https://youtube.com/@scottibyte
