Quadlet are great but running podman via systemd as a non root user worked perfectly well before quadlets and I have no idea what your parent is talking about (I'm currently in the process of converting my home services from rootless podman over systemd to quadlet)
Fair, it worked, but podman generate systemd is deprecated now. I found the generated unit files pretty brittle to maintain compared to just having a declarative config that handles the lifecycle.
I agree 100%, I was stuck without quadlet in previous Debian stable so I had to work with systemd generate, but quadlets are undoubtedly better, and I was looking forward to upgrade Debian just for that, and now that I did, I'm really happy to migrate. Especially custom container image management is so much smoother.
