I've always gone with Centos/Redhat but I finding their decision to move away from Docker quite challenging. Redhat bundle Podman in Centos/RHEL 8 as a container engine but it is not supported fully by Kubernetes so you end up fudging something. I'm now trying Ubuntu server and finding their Multipass installation a quick and easy method to build infrastructure. Will have to wait before commenting on its value as a Centos/RHEL replacement though

Yea I also had issues using podman when I first spun some containers up but it does say alot about dockers overly permissive use of the underlying system.

I actually still root for podman just because docker hasn't found stable funding for further development compared to red hat + ibm. Plus with other orchestrators like Nomad getting better it'd be interesting to see where container orchestration goes in a few years.
