Do containers only work on their relevant OS (i.e. Linux distro/MacOS/Windows) + container engine? (lemm.ee)

I think from what I've read that this is the case, but I've read some other info that's made it less clear to me.

On the second part of the question regarding container engines, I'm pretty sure that may also be correct, and it kinda makes me wonder a little about risks of engine lock-in, but that may be a little out of scope.

This is factually wrong. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/about/ documents how to use Microsoft Windows containers.

Woah, that's news to me. Are these OCI containers?
