Should I bother learning Podman? (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

I can't help but laugh at this.

"learn how to use podman" from someone who already knows docker is their happy path.

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/index.html#what-is-podman

Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems

Seriously, the only two problems i've had are:

  1. makefile doesn't honor the alias
  2. need to restart the VM occasionally

That’s the claim but buildx is extremely limited on podman.

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.
