Not the poster, but I kinda get this sentiment. For my laptop and things that I do for work, I prefer Podman. Better security posture out of the box, and I’m typically crafting my own pods to work a specific way.
But, if I am just trying to start up some app/service and I’m following the GitHub documentation with the project…I want to just copy and paste and there isn’t a 1-for-1 for docker compose. Podman does have an alias package so you can say docker on the cli, but the “compose” part of it is not as good if I just want something to run without dicking with it.
So in short, if I’m making something with a container or want to have hands on control, I prefer Podman. If I’m running something “off the shelf”, like just running someone’s docker compose files files from their Github, I’m just running Docker man.
I use the docker compose plugin with podman and it’s the same. My compose stack is massive with tons of services and I migrated it from docker to podman with no issues.

There’s a built in tool to rake docker compose files, and make quqdlets that worked just fine for me?
That’s neat, are you talking about Podlet? Your comment prompted me to search.
