From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora

I love Podman and Fedora, but for some reason I can't use podman UI :/ I'm not fond of it, but I love the cli :')

Yeah, it takes time I think since Podman UI is newcomer here. But the future seems promising, especially when Docker decision outraging many their users before. And of course as a Linux user, cli is the best option here for a moment..

I like podman because rootless capability. Red Hat teams already working hard to convince docker to accept their PR on the rootless, yet docker decline, and close the PR.

In the end, podman spin up, and it's very very powerful, for local development, yet light...

rootless capability

That's Podman primary feature right? still.. privacy and security has a downside on convenience as far as many people critize, and I choose that features rather than easy implementing with no security system enhanced. Yet, the future still bluring on Redhat side when they more expand than competition. Do we will face same tragedy like Ubuntu / Docker aggresive decision in open source space again?

I don't think so, as the team that works in podman are veteran in Industry since Red Hat inception, I don't think they will do something stupid, unless that the management meddle too much...

Red Hat need more profit to grow... and they are protecting their interest with GPL rights that people never think off.. soo... I won't touch more than podman topic, he he he..
