Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the two and not having to change habits later. What do you think? For context, I know how containers works in theory, I know some linux I think well, but I never actually used docker nor podman. In another words: If I want to eventually end up with Podman, is it easier to start with docker and then learn Podman, or start with Podman right away? Thanks in advance

    People love to hate on people who don’t care for containers.

    Also, I’m guessing that nobody here actually knows what it means to run code on bare metal.

    What you’re doing is fine. No need to make life harder for yourself.

      Maybe so. 😕

      what it means to run code on bare metal

      I’m guessing it means something slightly different than what most people think, namely to just run it in the OS. Would you explain to me what it really means?

        Bare metal would mean without an OS to manage peripherals, resources, even other tasks - like you might find on a resource-constrained embedded system.
