  I'm one of those million as I installed it last week and I've been impressed with it and podman as a whole.

  Just today I piped a cross-platform image from my M2 Mac running podman to an amd64 Linux server running Docker today and it just worked. So far it's been a viable alternative to begging for a Docker license.

  I have the CLI installed and use it quite often for managing containers and as a replacement for docker-compose. Can anyone comment on whether docker is better? I’ve never had any issues with podman and use it since it’s installed by default but curious why more people use docker.

  Im on windows and I find the native Docker desktop app pretty good. Does podman offer benfits over it?
