I'm very happy to see you better support for docker compose. I think about 50% of the time I find Kubernetes used in production/development when it could have just used Compose along with a simple Terraform or Pulumi deploy script.

I wish Podman wouldn't be a Docker replica, but a standalone product that competes in the container ecosystem with innovative features.
Initially the main advantage it had over Docker was rootless mode, but this has been available in Docker for a while now. What currently sets Podman (Desktop/Compose) apart from its Docker counterparts?
I've also run into issues running some containers with Podman that work fine with Docker. I still use it for some simple use cases, but I'm wondering more why bother with a copycat product that only plays catch-up to Docker, and has its own set of issues. And, incidentally, is run by Red Hat, and by extension IBM, which are increasingly hostile to OSS.

Just happened on macOS, with this new release:
> Podman Desktop quit unexpectedly.
I was about to ask whether it works on macOS yet. I guess I've got my answer.

Forgive my naïveté regarding Podman. On macOS, does this use the same virtualization approach that docker desktop uses?

At work I was initially using podman on an M1 MacBook, but switched to Rancher Desktop + dockerd a couple months ago after having too many issues with podman. Many in my org are also moving away from podman for similar reasons.
I could never get bind mounts working consistently, relying instead on volumes, which are more awkward/less explicit when persisting local DBs used when testing.
I've had zero problems with Rancher Desktop + dockerd - definitely recommend it for M1 users that are having issues with podman.

To all the people pointing out that docker compose doesn't scale, I use docker compose locally in a vs code dev container and then k8s on production. Running k8s locally seems too complex, maybe it's not so bad but I'm happy with using docker compose dev container for development

What's missing to fully replace Docker Desktop?

Is it usable on windows now? I constantly had issues previously both with Podman desktop and also rancher desktop. Docker socket not reachable, something stuck, and needed to reset the installation constantly. Docker desktop works quote stable.

Do people still use Vagrant? Last time I tried Docker on Mac, it was painfully slow. So I kept using Vagrant, which used more disc space, but very fast, and the Intel Macbook pro fan never kicked in once like Docker did.

Is there a way to make Podman Desktop use the default system connection rather than the default podman machine?
When I do `podman ps` my client connects to my development VM that is not managed by podman, but I can't seem to find a way to make Podman Desktop do that.

Why does Compose still only work on one server? I am perpetually perplexed that nobody has patched Compose to manage k8s resources, have its own multi-node support, or push Swarm more. How has nobody fixed this? The tool is 9 years old.
