Podman on Windows - never been able to fully get rid of it and it throws errors on boot after uninstall. Was a fan, am now not.

Good to know, I'm on Linux, switching our dev/stg/prod servers over to it partly because we had all this workaround mechanics in place so that "apt update" updating docker packages wouldn't restart services (we typically don't rotate machines out of the load for just an apt update). Podman + quadlets conversion was not terribly hard, and has eliminated this issue.
Don't use Windows
A lot of us don’t get a choice.

Wise advice and facts... the terrible state of our industry

You can run plain old CLI Docker (not Docker Desktop) from within WSL.
You can. Would it surprise you to know that this, too, is often locked down?
That sounds terrible! Feels like your LLM agent probably has more control over your computer than you. Can't imagine being confined to a prison like that, but I suppose there are other aspects (monetary or otherwise) of the job that make up?
I can’t complain…
Wish the Mac Desktop Docker would die in a hellfire. CLI please.
orbstack and colima work well
brew install colima
For anyone following behind, this is the way.
Sure you do.
