I had some issues with podman working on my m1 mac about 1-2 yrs ago.

I’ll give it a shot again. Looks like it has matured very fast.

I’ve been using it for years on M1 Macs without issue. I wrote up some notes:

I've had issues as recently as this week with podman on an m1 laptop - the container would start but after a short time would freeze completely and couldn't even be killed - only solution i found was to restart my laptop. Eventually, I gave up and went back to using docker.
Same, I tried it on Thursday, I would recommend people on M1 Macs to stay well clear of podman for now.
Yep, there's a thread with hundreds of people on M1,2,3 macs having issues, it bit some people at work on newer macs. If you installed it a while ago, it's fine, but if you installed recently, it's buggered. The solution was to install podman-desktop which was somehow packaged such that it's not getting the bug (podman machine start hangs forever).
