Not comparable to podman: "Is OrbStack free? OrbStack is completely free to use during beta, but it will become a paid product afterwards. We're still working out the details, but this is the plan so far (subject to change):

Personal use: free Business and commercial use: $8/user/mo "

Hadn't heard of this, thanks for sharing. Should be a full drop-in replacement?

Yes. I replaced Docker Desktop with it and I haven't found anything lacking for my use cases so far. It's a great alternative, just install and a few clicks, that's it.

it's funny that you feel the need to drop your SPAM in this thread.

It's unfortunately a genuine unaffiliated endorsement
