It evolved to become Docker Desktop
No it didn't, Docker Desktop was already released before Docker bought Kitematic. I have receipts: https://www.zdnet.com/article/docker-reels-in-kitematic-as-i... (2015) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software) (Initial release: 2012) If you mean Docker Desktop added some features from Kitematic, that's a misleading way of saying it.

It’s great that podman serves a good role for you, and I’m not going to argue that. My points: 1. Docker containers absolutely can be run without root. Yes, it’s not the default policy, but containers can have a user ID. If you are referencing the daemon-less root-less nature of podman, that’s a clear advantage of podman vs Docker. 2. Docker containers also have a restart policy which I use to also have them startup…
> root-less nature of podman I see this repeated a lot, but it's not the default, its has to be explicitly configured: https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/v3.3.1/docs/tutori... And in addition to the known upsides, there are some lesser known downsides: 1. There are feature limitations with it: https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/v3.3.1/rootless.md 2. There are security implications, quoting Arch Wiki: >…

Windows works via a "Bring your own VM" approach, but since WSL exists I'd expect most Windows users would just run it there
When you install Docker desktop and already have wsl2 installed you get a pop up saying “you just want us to use wsl2?” And away you go. At least that’s what happened when I did it 6 months ago. Works great!

It seems to me that almost no one understands the difference between the various layers of "Docker" (that is to say: Desktop, CLI, daemon, containerd, runc) and which layers tools like Podman aim to replace.
Yes, but Docker won't work on Windows without having some machine-compatible integration with Hyper-V. Docker Machine was deprecated in favor of Docker Desktop: https://docs.docker.com/machine/ For now however, you can use minikube which provides drivers for Hyper-V and hyperkit: https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/
The challenges I’ve had switching out Docker Engine, CLI, and Compose with Podman has been the absence of a vetted Docker Compose replacement. What I’ve done so far in replacing Docker Desktop has been to use just the CLI, Engine, and Compose on WSL2.

Docker Desktop isn’t really about the GUI so much as the management of, and host integration with, a Linux VM for running on non-Linux OSes. Notably, there’s no Docker Desktop for Linux, only macOS and Windows.
Yep. Podman takes cares of those things using the `podman machine` sub-command. From what I understand, currently only macOS might be working, but Windows support will be coming if it's not already there.

Linux, yeah, I don't think there is a Desktop version for that. It's all CLI

Multiple siblings here have already mentioned that it absolutely can (and does for many).
My question is: in what way does it not? What is Docker Desktop doing for you that podman lacks? Just UI?

It depends on what you mean by “replace” Docker Desktop, but Podman can run a VM on macOS and has replaced Docker Desktop for me. There’s no fancy (useless) UI nor Windows support yet though.
