Learn Podman since Docker has some licensing restrictions in some cases.
Quadlet is a game changer
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/quadlet-podman
It is less user friendly but theoretically more powerful and secure
The learning curve can be steep but if you have ever worked with config files it isn't bad.
The worst part about quadlets, IMO, is that they don't use the same key words as podman run does. So turning a working podman container into a quadlet can be challenging.
Podlet is really useful in this area.
really? like what? i’ve been using docker completely free and unrestricted - at i think so haha
I think the restrictions are just for publishing containers on Docker Hub. If you aren't doing that, you aren't impacted.
And Docker desktop on Windows
It doesn't impact the "Linux native" people but for those starting out on Windows it is a problem.
That's like insult to injury... Docker Desktop is already way worse than running on linux!
