I use podman and it works fine?

Podman Desktop runs podman machine for me at startup.

Containers set to restart automatically don’t restart across podman machine restarts but that hasn’t upset my workflow much (at all?). I just start containers as I need them.

I wonder if VSCode’s Remote Container stuff works with Podamn on windows. The Docker Desktop + VSCode + Remote Container Dev + the ESP-IDF tooling is the nicest way to do production ESP32 dev with multiple ESP-IDF version (and even without that is just much simpler to get up and running on Windows, despite the rube Goldberg machine-esque description of it)

I've been playing around with it recently on macos and Podman is still a bit hit or miss. It seems mostly to be around assumptions of permissions. I switched over to colima (which is specifically for macos) and have had next to no issues though. Hopefully podman is able to tick off those last few boxes and make it properly stable in this use case.
