Podman doesn't work on Fedora Workstations with GNome-basedGUI. It's a fact. But How OCI container's cgroups soft machine can work in the forest of cgroups created by GNome and all GUI applications. Every GUI session has its own cgroups tree managed by systemd. It is very hard to make a decision about a parent cgroup for the created container and resource allocation that doesn't fit every scenario. There are too many variants: user-session, gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal tab, etc. The server-client nature of the Gnome GUI will keep the question about a side designated for resource allocation forever. The Windows WSL and MAC implementation of Podman follo different approach - creation of the singleton VM running pre-installed Podman. Fedora workstations have built-in capability to run VMs via machined and machinectl. The resource limits of this VM can be easily tuned. Inside the VM OCI containers can be easily managed if the VM is systemd-based like Fedora's images. User sessions in this VM are plain remote sessions opened by the user core or core-less.
Such VM can be easily deployed to Fedora WS as a iso copied to btrfs volume.
I tried to run minimalistic smoke-test and got a workable Podman but the Quemi machine inside Fedora WS for Intel looks slightly exotic. Maybe this approach is more practical?
