Sure! Docker CE needs you to add their own repo for deb or RPM based distros. Podman is available on all of the big distros main repos.
The biggest feature to me is this one https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-kube.1.html
Podman and docker are good getting started with container steps (nerdctl is also awesome), but just a starting point with k8s being the goal for almost every service and job deployment to me.
