Podman vs Docker vs Another Competitor?
I'm having a hard time to choose between podman and docker (another option?).
I have never touching both of it (i mean i happen to run minecraft server with docker on windows in the past, but it doesn't count).
I didn't have many use for it now probably, except when i am building something (for example jar files etc) i want an uncontaminated place, and i'm hoping when i nuking it (delete the apps and it's container) it will not leave any garbages on my machine.
I hear a good thing about podman because it didn't require root privileges and its daemonless (idk what it mean), but i'm not sure if i could achieve that with it.

my understanding is that docker is just better
podman is useful if you don't have admin perms but im not aware of any reason you would choose to use it over docker if you do have root

This depends on what you want to do. Docker, IMO, has a broader range of applications, so if you are looking to add a skill to your resume or learn something, I would dip your toes into Docker.
PodMan does do a few things Docker cannot, since it is daemonless. It also has a lighter footprint.
Do you have any projects in mind?

i don't like the idea of using root to run everything
for now there is not many project i want to use with it, but i want a containerized place when i want to build something like jar files etc
some people suggesting me using vm (i have qemu) to do it, but i think it will be pita to set up everytime
but let say i get myself to it, now i am seeing something like fedora coreos to do it
necro thread, but you can use tools like Vagrant thatll make vm install easier
as in, you can run a vagrant command and have a VM up in like, 20 seconds
i suppose you could also try using bare lxc but i know very little about that so you'll be on your own there :RosGalaxy:
