From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But is it really a drop-in replacement for docker? Networking seems fundamentally different.
I tried to use a docker compose file for Wordpress as an example, with nginx-proxy-manager in another compose file. They're linked together through an external network.
Podman works differently. You're expected to create 'pods'. I'm not super clear on this (just dipping my toes) but podman seems to be an alternative to k8s, not docker.
