From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Almost all of your problems are because you aren't running as root. These aren't bugs. They seem like a pain because you're transitioning from Docker which runs as root (which is ABSOLUTELY INCORRIGIBLE in my opinion).
SELinux is a different story though. Now that's a hard to tame beast. Things go wrong easily if you don't know what you're doing.
I suggest researching more before jumping off into a new technology, you seem like you weren't anticipating some of these problems which adds to the frustration.
You can run docker rootless too. On local machines running docker with root is a risk that for many is acceptable. On servers and publicly exposed hosts, rootless.
