I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Yeah I agree.

I moved my stack from podman run to quadlets, but god damn was it frustrating to deal with them. I kept running into weird issues such as: the containers not starting every time on reboot, all containers taking like two minutes to start even without needing to download the image, the unit files not being found by systemd.

I ended up moving back to podman run, because they just worked. It is a shame, to be honest, because I would like to use quadlets.
