Red Hat has no official affiliation with Canonical who make Ubuntu. If you want to test podman you 'll have better luck using an OS from the Fedora ecosystem where Red Hat has affiliations and is actively contributing. Since you mentioned Windows I 'd suggest trying something like this [1] or this [2] [1]: https://github.com/yosukes-dev/FedoraWSL [2]: https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.
In Podman 4.2.0
There's some wsl fedora distro''s like this. https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL . Don't get the store image, it's not updated and is paid, which this is free. BUT, I urge you to just download ubuntu on wsl. It's way more integrated and has alot more support. There's effectively no difference besides some library names which can be translated with "whatprovides" and apt vs dnf. As a Fedora desktop user at work and Ubuntu hater, with WSL it has the Microsoft "Stamp of approval" and gets all the new features and official support.
In Switching to WSL2 with Fedora over plain Fedora install for development?
