As someone using podman for my home setup and nothing else in particular, are there any reasons to use Docker still? I did ha e some issues with podman-compose recently, but switched to quadlets and things have been amazing.

I was saved from a drive-by-exploit by SELinux once and have started feeling weary about turning it off.
