this coming from someone who used podman for years for hours for development every day.
podman is cancer, it’s way better to use docker rootless.
podman will break if you sneeze at it, and the only recourse you will find in github is to podman system reset which stinks of bad programming.
docker rootless never breaks, podman may die if you cancel a download because the devs were either inexperienced or bad and instead of protecting the state with atomic filesystem operations they leave dirty files in working directories which make it fail in random and unexpected ways.
Whenever you get bored:
Wait…is that all it takes to install arch in a docker container? Does this include a GUI or is it for terminal Haxxorz only?
Yes. It even pulls the image for you if you don’t have it.
Terminal only. Though in theory you should be able to expose a port to access an X or Wayland session remotely to use a GUI, but I haven’t tried this.
And yes.
You’re basically describing DistroBox, which does exactly that. It’s amazing.
Its easier to use distrobox with podman

I’ve personally only had good experiences with podman
Could be. I know docker and this looked like a nail.
