> +While it is possible to run KWin through container technologies such as docker this is not recommended. KWin needs to interact with the actual hardware such as the OpenGL drivers, input devices, etc. Getting this setup is possible, but complicated. KWin's own capabilities of using the nested compositor are superior to containers.

If you're in a container (and not a VM)  you would still use a nested compositor.
