    Red Hat has no official affiliation with Canonical who make Ubuntu.

    If you want to test podman you 'll have better luck using an OS from the Fedora ecosystem where Red Hat has affiliations and is actively contributing.

    Since you mentioned Windows I 'd suggest trying something like this [1] or this [2]

  • What is your favorite desktop environment?

    At the risk of being downvoted to hell, but to offer a different perspective, my answer is, that my favorite DE for Linux (not only Fedora) is... Windows with WSL(g). I'm a huge Fedora fan, have installed it bare-metal, but use fedoraremix WSL distro almost exclusively. The problem with that solution is that it requires an absurdly huge amount of memory to work comfortably, so I admit, that it is not a good solution for any system with less than 32GB of RAM.

    You could download the msix bundle for fedora remix from Github or using winget: winget install --id whitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl
  • Podman v4.2.0 Released

    BTW. I'm not using Ubuntu WSL, and I'm on fedoraremix instead - you can install it for free from https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases. As of now it installs Fedora 35, but you can upgrade it to 36 and there you have podman 4.2.0 available for install. Maybe it would solve some of your issues?

    Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.
