To provide 1 contrary opinion to all the others saying they have a problem:

Podman rocks for me!

I find docker hard to use and full of pitfalls and podman isn't any worse. On the plus side, any company I work for doesn't have to worry about licences. Win win!

You only have to worry about licences if you use Docker DESKTOP. Why not use RANCHER Desktop?

I have been using it by years. Tested it in Win11 and Linux Mint. I can have even a local kubernetes.

I concur. My company is using Rancher Desktop on Windows machines. No problems. As long as you use don't care about GUI, and just use CLI dommands ("docker" , "docker compose" ).
