[dshea18]

What are the bare minimum system requirements for Podman v4.2.0 and Podman Desktop for both MacOS and Windows?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Shea

Podman requirements are mostly around kernel version - the oldest kernel we do regular testing with is the 4.18 kernel of RHEL8. Our resource requirements otherwise are quite minimal. On OS X and Windows, the podman machine VM will automatically take care of this.

For Podman Desktop, I will tag @benoitf
