I'll start:

When I was first learning to use Docker, I didn't realize that most tutorials that include a database don't configure the database to persist. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't figure out why the database kept getting wiped!

Podman is just as easy to install--admittedly they give way more support for Ubuntu and Fedora than other platforms (unfortunately). But once you've switched, you won't go back; it really is a 'seemless' transition, and you can use the same dockerfiles and docker-compose files with it.
