25       Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because
26       containers are Linux - containers do not run on any  other  OS  because
27       containers' core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel. Podman ma‐
28       chine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be op‐
29       tionally used on Linux.
