The ergonomics look great.

Seconding GNOME, it’s beautiful and highly customizable!

Lots of docker guides + documentation just don’t work, specifically with podman-compose. The networking options are not fully featured, I ended up having to rig up a bunch of kubernetes services just to be able to use my VPN as a network bridge for my media server stack. I got podman working eventually because I think it’s neat, but it definitely would have been twice as easy to just use docker.

In my personal experience, it’s just not as fully featured.
