Nothing for me: I use it as a Docker Desktop replacement at the moment. There aren't so many complex docker-compose setups I have to deal with, but everything works about as expected.

(Although honestly most of the time I'm using Podman it's on native Linux, so I don't use 99% of the stuff that's there anyway.)

That depends on what you need. For most people and use cases you can replace it with something like Rancher Desktop [1]. But, there are use cases and situations where you needed Docker Desktop.

Disclaimer, I started Rancher Desktop.

I switched from podman to Rancher Desktop at work recently, and it's been a very smooth experience - thank you for your work!

I've been using Podman Desktop in Win11 for local development for about 6 months and I'd say nothing.

Nothing good? Nothing bad?

I mean... if you're going to say nothing at all, no need to announce it...

The person you're responding to is responding to a comment asking what is missing from Podman Desktop it to replace Docker Desktop. It is missing nothing for them per their message.

ooo thanks

As in nothing is missing to replace Docker Desktop.

thanks, and my bad for not reading carefully

Lazydocker is all you need to replace docker desktop

When I was running Docker Desktop on Windows, I never used the GUI. Instead I always ran commands (docker or docker-compose) on the command line. In that case, the major benefit to Docker Desktop was having it set up the Linux VM that you run Docker on. That is a huge benefit.

Lazydocker is awesome, though. Thanks for introducing it to me. I just installed it and I'm loving it. I've used Portainer in the past, but didn't like it enough to leave it running continuously.
