          This option enables lxd, a daemon that manages
          containers. Users in the "lxd" group can interact with
          the daemon (e.g. to start or stop containers) using the
          <command>lxc</command> command line tool, among others.

          Most of the time, you'll also want to start lxcfs, so
          that containers can "see" the limits:
