Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the two and not having to change habits later. What do you think? For context, I know how containers works in theory, I know some linux I think well, but I never actually used docker nor podman. In another words: If I want to eventually end up with Podman, is it easier to start with docker and then learn Podman, or start with Podman right away? Thanks in advance

    What I meant by that was that it might be easier to start with podman, when my goal is to end up wuth podman anyways.

      No flame intended. Quick question though - out of curiosity: what is specifically your use case for podman?

        I want to use it for selfhosting stuff on my raspberry pi. And the reason I want to use podman over docker is that podman is more secure and more FOSS (I know the engine is FOSS, but Docker Desktop isn’t and in the past they attempted to do few bullshit thing like this )
