    Perhaps I misunderstand the words “overlapping” and “hot-swappable” in this case, I’m not a native english speaker. To my knowledge they’re not the same thing.

    In my opinion wanting to run an extra service as root to be able to e.g. serve a webapp on an unprivileged port is just strange. But I’ve been using Podman for quite some time. Using Docker after Podman is a real pain, I’ll give you that.

      I am not a native english speaker either but it seems like you are trying to understand those two words outside of their context as used in the sentences I’ve replied. They are only meant to be understood in the context of the conversation. In this case, the two terms mean almost interchangable. Look up the meaning of both words and try to apply them as previously used.

      Often times we don’t get to choose the software solutions that we will eventually use, they choose us. Colloquially speaking.
