I've been using Docker since before Docker Desktop.
Never really had any major problems with Docker Desktop on Windows. I run it and it allows me to run containers through WSL 2. Volume performance is near native Linux speeds and the software itself doesn't crash, even on my 10 year old machine.
I also use it on macOS on a work laptop for a lot of different projects and it works. There's more issues around volume mount performance here but it's not something that's unusably slow. Also given the volume performance is mostly due to OS level file system things I'm skeptical Podman would resolve that. I remember trying Colima for something and it made no difference there.
