understood, but i'm thinking of just the first intro day, and for
that, i think just mentioning the difference regarding the docker
deamon would be enough -- a followup course on actual image and daemon
management could get into the consequences of the docker daemon.
i already have a pretty decent outline for that first day and a
sizable collection of online resources, but i'm always open to more
recommendations for online courses or articles that i can incorporate.

One tool you might want to add to your arsenal is podman top. It shows
things about the contianer like
what PID the container processes are running , versus the real pid on
the host.
podman top -l pid hpid
-> helps explain PID namespace
Or the userid of the process inside the container and outside
podman top -l user huser
-> helps explain User Namespace.
If you are demonstrating rootless podman, I like users to explore user
namespace using
$ podman unshare
