I have, and it's great/you forget about it pretty quickly. I've actually gone (rootful?)docker->(rootless)podman->(rootless)docker, and I've written about it: - https://vadosware.io/post/rootless-containers-in-2020-on-arch-linux/ https://vadosware.io/post/rootless-containers-in-2020-on-arc... - https://vadosware.io/post/bits-and-bobs-with-podman/ https://vadosware.io/post/bits-and-bobs-with-podman/ - https://vadosware.io/post/back-to-docker-after-issues-with-podman/ https://vadosware.io/post/back-to-docker-after-issues-with-p... I still somewhat long after podman's lack of a daemon but some of the other issues with it currently leave it completely out for me (now that docker has caught up) -- for example lack of linking support. Podman works great outside of those issues though, you just have to be careful if it does something in a way that expects docker semantics (usually the daemon or an unix socket on disk somewhere). You'll also find some cutting edge tools like dive[0] also have some support for podman[1] but it's not necessarily the usual case.
