so `podman` (build, run) defaults to being incredibly slow unless you have `fuse-overlayfs` in PATH. when you _do_ install `fuse-overlayfs`, you also have to remove some files it created in ~/ to get it to switch storage backends 🙃 - ThreadSky

Podman is weird. Also last time I've tried it podman-compose was a piece of trash

new discovery: if you do `podman build --tag blah`, then `podman run blah` (to run checks before pushing it), it'll.. pull blah from the registry??

imho the podman vfs backend should spam "THIS IS SLOW HUH" every second unless you pass `--yes-i-like-to-suffer`

Fedora switched default podman storage driver quite some time ago, in middle of 2021
But overlay driver was incompatible with vfs, so one had to wipe podmans storage to switch, and they didn’t do it automatically.
… and I had an installation older than that, and found out in July 2024

You said Debain, yeah? Also seems recent. I had a proper storage engine on Ubuntu out of the box.
