That isn’t a good comparison. While podman can run systemd inside a container, it isn’t widely adopted in the images in docker hub and elsewhere. There is probably just fedora supporting this. Whereas in LXD it’s normal to run a full systemd inside a container.

How do you mean? I've used podman on Void Linux, openSUSE, GitLab CI, and I think some others that I'm forgetting (I distro hop a lot) and it's worked great.

With podman and rootfs it's also normal to run a full systemd inside a container and you don't need special considerations from OCI images for rootfs to work just fine.

RHEL is behind podman and I will take RHEL support over Canonical every day.

Podman is also available on most major distros and easy to port to new ones without requiring someone to use some proprietary crapware solution like snappy.
