What drew you to switch up your workflow?

I am on a m1 macbook air and I've been using Docker + Docker Desktop without much issue, and my use-case is a little simpler than yours (only running single containers at a time).

I'm genuinely curious to learn more about what these tools (Colima, podman) help enable. If I'm missing out on a performance boost, I'd definitely check them out.

In case you missed it the license terms for Docker Desktop have changed and require companies with ~250 employees to start paying for it: https://www.docker.com/blog/updating-product-subscriptions/

And in those larger companies, just paying for the "coffee a month" may not be an option, since they insist all licenses are company owned and it's less effort to change my docker VM wrapper than get shit past my company's purchasing department in a reasonable amount of time.

gotcha. i was aware, but doesn't apply to my current circumstance.

is that the motivator for most, then?

I switched because of licensing changes and because I find the docker desktop UI to be laggy, frequently updating with no discernible benefit to me, and superfluous -- I would rather interact with my containers via the CLI, but had to use the desktop app to start the daemon.
