I don’t have much experience with podman in production. I use podman to spin up some web tools locally on Linux computer startup (so I have my own searxng only for me). It is a great tool.if you need to spin up something in user space, and because of that, it actually consumes slightly less RAM in general.

About the docker: I never used it as rootless. I’m not sure, but documentation probably said that it is partially or not fully supported or lacks some features or something like that. Anyways, I just run it as root, just because everyone is using it (by everyone, I mean stinky enterprise nerds that do their silly .sh scripts only for docker).

I had some troubles with networking and volume mounts in podman BTW, mostly permissions issues. I guess it makes sense, when a container, tries to create a root file on a rootless podman host and fails.

Though docker is not really fully open source AFAIK. Maybe its source-available, but I remember some bullshit about it.

No its not.

While podman fully OCI image compliant, the network stack of it is different. And podman runsias user, not as root.

Not to mention that podman is a CLI, but OP asked for GUI

Disgusting. Please remove your discord links. Discord is a surveillance platform that works with ICE.

Linux supports any VPN protocol pretty much. If your VPN vendor doesn’t want you to lock in their software - they probably allow you to download pure OpenVPN or WireGuard config file that can be easily inserted on any major distro.

And also as far as I knke, Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux

Book link?

Pretty much all beginner friendly distros have this thing (Fedora Debian Ubuntu Mint). You just have to enable it. Also make sure if you are using secure boot - remove Microsoft keys and generate your own. Also its nice to have bios password setup too.
