    The two are not hot-swappable solutions (as much as podman tries to act as a drop-in replacement for docker). Trying to replace one with the other after coming from extended use of either will immediately let you know of the stark differences between them.

      Perhaps I misunderstand the words “overlapping” and “hot-swappable” in this case, I’m not a native english speaker. To my knowledge they’re not the same thing.

      In my opinion wanting to run an extra service as root to be able to e.g. serve a webapp on an unprivileged port is just strange. But I’ve been using Podman for quite some time. Using Docker after Podman is a real pain, I’ll give you that.
