Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the two and not having to change habits later. What do you think? For context, I know how containers works in theory, I know some linux I think well, but I never actually used docker nor podman. In another words: If I want to eventually end up with Podman, is it easier to start with docker and then learn Podman, or start with Podman right away? Thanks in advance

    On the same machine I have Docker running as root and not as root. I choose which version, root-ful/root-less depending on what the container needs to do.

    I think the only advantage is that Podman runs as root-less out of the box, where with Docker you have to do a few extra steps once it’s installed.
