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.

Should I bother learning Podman? (lemmy.goblackcat.com)

I am already fairly comfortable using docker and its tool set. Is the tide shifting towards Podman? Should I start learning how to use Podman? Thanks in advance.

conversely, switching now means he'll be learning domain specific knowledge for podman, the thing he wants to work in, and not building it in docker, the thing he's trying to move away from

That's certainly possible. I'm just saying it may be faster to learn docker and then learn the differences, given the abundance of docker documentation that exists.
