Someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that Docker is only charging for Docker Desktop, which is a GUI and management tool required to use Docker on Windows and MacOS - both of which are not supported by Podman. And Do

Yup, you can't just take awful photos and say "these are good actually". Well, in the art world you can get away with that kind of nonsense. But to most people those are just terrible photos.
