I used Arch and have access the pretty much the latest release of Podman anytime. Your qualms with Ubuntu packaging don't make a lot of sense. Any distro has requirements to become an official packager. Canonical and Ubuntu have been pushing LXC/LXD as their container solution. If they wanted the latest version of Podman then their packagers can build and package it, or someone else can and create a repository or PPA. Also, I was able to get it to work on Windows fine. Maybe try removing your existing install and creating a new one.
