I simply use Joplin subnotebooks. I have one for home cooking and one for brewing beer. Markdown works well enough for me in terms of portability and readability. It also syncs between my devices, so I have several copies of my recipes.
For home brewing, I have written a few scripts that convert BeerXML to Markdown for easy importing. I create the recipes in my home brewing software (currently Kleiner Brauhelfer), export the BeerXML file and convert it to Markdown for secondary storing.
If everybody thought like this, we would still be banging rocks together.I am not sure about your use case, but IMO learning Docker first would be a good default. It is more wide-spread than podman. If you want (or need) to, moving on to podman would probably not be too big a step.
