Plus everybody is like ‘it’s the same thing, no learning curve’ but then I start reading up on it and uhoh, learning curves :p
Exactly this. I tried podman, as a “container” newb, based on the idea that it’s a (better) drop-in replacement for docker, but it didn’t work. My quick attempts to resolve it went nowhere, and there were no instructions for the container I was trying to spin up for podman to explain the differences required.
So, in frustration, I decided to try docker and it just worked.
Good enough for me, for now. I still prefer the idea of not having a daemon running with root privileges, so I’ll likely move over to podman eventually, but I only have so much time to waste tinkering with my setup. And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
In almost all cases podman will work as a drop-in replacement. Problems usually arise from podman not being rootful by default, which does make a difference in most scenarios that involve volume mounts, exposing ports or other kinds of host resource access. You can run podman as root and nowadays even docker as rootless (though at that point you might be better off with podman).

Use docker rootless.
same, docker just works when I’m trying to use version pinning on half my containers so they don’t try using the wrong rocm version
