Anyone know if podman has an equivalent to `docker buildx` yet? Right now I use docker a lot to build arm images to deploy on e.g. Raspberry Pis.

You shouldn't.
Why not? Podman has an almost identical CLI to Docker, and can have a daemon that is fully Docker compatible (thus, all Docker integrations work against it including docker-compose). It is literally a drop-in replacement but it doesn't require your company to buy licenses. So yes, you should if you can.
Also in the same space is https://rancherdesktop.io/ .
Am not familiar with Rancher Desktop, but briefly looking at their website it has a Docker CLI dependency which surely would land it in the Docker licensing controversy space, no ?

Docker cli is still fair game.
So question from novice in containers, podman vs docker why should i consider switching from docker?
Docker is under a commercial license and if you use it at a company or work you need to now pay $5 a person a month: https://www.docker.com/pricing/ This changed in the last year, previously docker was free to use personally or at non enterprise scale work/office.

Isn't that only docker desktop? AFAIK docker cli and docker daemon are still free.

The main use case right now is that your company won't spring for a docker desktop license (and you work in a windows/mac shop). It works well enough for single docker images, but I've never gotten it to work well with a complicated docker-compose set-up (I haven't tried in a couple months though, so go check the docs before you write it off).
If it is, or if there were a command translation layer to transform docker cli stanzas to the podman equivalent, I'd love to dump and forget about docker forever.
Please keep pushing Team Podman! Self-respecting nerds everywhere are rooting for (and counting on) you!
