Podman is amazing, I'm using it when I can. Sometimes some distros ship an older version and can cause problems, but on a newer version I don't see the reason to use docker ever again.

    What specifically do you like about it that makes you prefer it over docker? 🙂

    No root needed, so i can use it at my job, no daemon, so when something crashes the docker compose don't come back to life wasting 500% CPU with 3 trillion services on the background, also support for kubernetes yaml is nice too.

    Azure eventhubs simulator doesn't work on it, but i consider that a plus hahaha.

    Over all, some nice features, like in the other comment said, systemd services, and not messing with my system configs are a definitive plus for me.
