Has Podman become more user friendly in recent years? I gave it a go about three or four years ago now when Docker began their commercial push (which I don't have an issue with).

This was for some hobby project, so I didn't spend a ton of time, but it definitely wasn't as set-and-forget as Docker was. I believe I had to set up a separate VM or something? This was on Linux as the host OS too. It's been a while, so apologies for the hazy memory.

Or it's very possible that I botched the entire setup. In my perfect world, it's a quick install and then `podman run`. Maybe it's time to give it another go.
