There was a problem hiding this comment.
thanks!. I'd propose the following change:
"Podman does not require root privileges on many Linux platforms:" should be "Podman does not require root privileges and is available on many Linux distributions:"

Summary
Adds Podman instructions alongside the existing Docker instructions for
compiling a paper draft locally.
Podman is a rootless alternative to Docker available on many Linux
platforms. The added section uses
--userns=keep-id(Podman's rootlessequivalent to matching file ownership between host and container) instead
of Docker's
--user $(id -u):$(id -g).Fixes #1552
Changes
docs/paper.md: new "Podman" subsection right after the existing"Docker" subsection, same style/formatting.
Notes
The exact command was proposed by @MarDiehl in the issue.
