If you are in my boots, starting using podman for the first time and want it to get it working on Windows and WSL, this is for you. It's a bit of a pain to have the same "Docker Desktop" experience just with "Podman Desktop".
This guide doesn't matter for security, it just documents how you make things work.
This guide only works for ubuntu 24 in your WSL distro. Versions bellow have older podman versions which are not compatible with podman desktop.
