Since you compare it to Docker Desktop, is there a more comprehensive comparison?
Except for the obvious support, what else do you miss or gain compared to the paid Docker Desktop?
Which is a direct replacement to Docker Desktop unlike Podman. It matters when you have a WSL2 setup and want to access to the same container database from both Windows and Linux side (useful for cross-platform software).
With Podman you can only use main Podman distro to the fullest capability. While you can expose the socket to other WSL distros and use remoting, it doesn't work with bind mounting local folders to the container.
I wonder how this compares to Orbstack on MacOS. Obviously Podman is a much more established project, but Orbstack does a particularly nice job integrating with MacOS’s virtualization affordances to streamline container workflows (which of course are fundamentally a Linux technology).

Maybe they work for their marketing department? Technically this is a form of spam that should probably be discouraged here.
