Forgive my naïveté regarding Podman. On macOS, does this use the same virtualization approach that docker desktop uses?

Same basic approach in that it is a Linux VM that actually runs the containers, but it is based on qemu instead of VirtualBox.

What's missing to fully replace Docker Desktop?

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.)

Yes. Perhaps OrbStack[1] is what you're looking for. [1] https://orbstack.dev/

Thanks I’m gonna try it out. Sucks that it’s closed source but I do so much work in containers these days that it’s worth it just for the speed

I'm very happy to see you better support for docker compose. I think about 50% of the time I find Kubernetes used in production/development when it could have just used Compose along with a simple Terraform or Pulumi deploy script.

ah the 1% of the time you do want to use something in kubernetes and you have a pile of compose is pretty demoralising though
