Let’s walk through what Podman is and how to use it as a Docker alternative on Linux. Expect a straightforward guide on installing Podman, running containers with it, and understanding the basics.

What specifically do you like about it that makes you prefer it over docker? 🙂

No root needed, so i can use it at my job, no daemon, so when something crashes the docker compose don't come back to life wasting 500% CPU with 3 trillion services on the background, also support for kubernetes yaml is nice too.

Azure eventhubs simulator doesn't work on it, but i consider that a plus hahaha.

Over all, some nice features, like in the other comment said, systemd services, and not messing with my system configs are a definitive plus for me.
