Since Podman has been around for quite a while now, I am wondering how many people actually use it at this point.
I myself was kind of forced to use Podman when I decided to try an enterprise distro (RHEL). I wanted to keep using Docker, but since I was not as experienced as I am today, I had difficulties making it work properly on RHEL.
Therefore, I started learning Podman, first with Podman Compose, which wasn’t working well either back then (2021, I believe). So I began learning how to use Podman properly.
Since it is very, very similar to Docker, yet has some differences, I picked it up quite quickly. Once I understood it well and learned about exclusive features that Docker doesn’t have, I started to love it.
Therefore, I would never switch back to Docker, and it makes me wonder—how many people have actually tried it properly?
How many have replaced Docker with it to this day?
