What engineers like:
Underlying platform for running containers (with Podman Desktop as a GUI). Now supports the latest macOS VM framework. Pasta networking backend now the default allowing rootless / unprivileged connectivity. Supports various OCI formats for running various containers. Simplifies k8s locally.
Trade-offs & limitations:
You may need to migrate to the new format if you were using the previous machines functionality.
Best suited for:
Developers who need to run containers locally, especially those using Kubernetes

# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Enterprise Clean)

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f8f5fa;
  --foreground: #1c1c1e;
  --muted-foreground: #e9e3ec;
  --accent: #892ca0;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Montserrat", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Segoe UI Symbol", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~68%) · Surface #F8F5FA (~10%) · Text #1C1C1E (~8%) · Muted Text #E9E3EC (~5%) · Accent #892CA0 (~9%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
