can you please clarify, from technical perspective

> enable podman.socket (available as system and user unit)

Won't it make podman be daemon then if it'd be activated by socket?

Won't such a daemon be run as root then to be able to handle creation of networks/ports forwardings/multiple-users?

As I said, there's a user unit (systemctl --user status podman.socket) that will run rootless just like using the podman CLI without elevation.
