Serious question: I've been running rootless Docker since it became possible. In what way is it limited compared to using Podman?

    Nothing really critical.

    Differences from where I'm at

    • docker doesn't have native systemd integration ("quadlets")
    • docker needs a daemon running
    • podman has pods (like kubernetes) which are great for isolation of complex services
    • you can run podman containers with kubernetes yaml
