I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

    It might be easier to learn some docker first. That’s what all the documentation is written for and I’ve found the “alias docker to podman and call it a day” approach to be overly optimistic.

      conversely, switching now means he’ll be learning domain specific knowledge for podman, the thing he wants to work in, and not building it in docker, the thing he’s trying to move away from

        That’s certainly possible. I’m just saying it may be faster to learn docker and then learn the differences, given the abundance of docker documentation that exists.
