Pick crun if…
crun suits Linux users who need an OCI-compatible runtime for self-hosted container management. It may also suit developers integrating container management into programs, since the project aims to make crun usable as a library.
Pick LXD if…
LXD suits Linux users who need to manage system containers, virtual machines, or both through command-line, API, or web interfaces. It also offers integrations for users of tools such as Juju, MAAS, Ansible, Terraform, Puppet Bolt, and Packer.
