oh boy i just hit a new fun issue maybe

systemctl --user enable --now podman.socket
# in .bashrc export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock
# so it's there
# i have moby-engine installed, but disabled, verified socket and service are not running so shouldn't be a problem, but useful for testing
