When I run docker on my laptop, the fans turn on full speed and stay there (recent macbook pro). I kill docker any time I don't expect to use it in the next hour. If I'm not on AC power, it halves my battery life. I wouldn't even consider keeping docker running constantly. Is this not the normal experience? |

Unless you have a Linux-based operating system, Docker behaves very poorly.
NB: The Hyper-V backend behave a bit less poorly than the WSL backend.
I've found that Docker Desktop uses a lot of Disk I/O whenever you use volumes, or pull an image, or anything else that touch the hard drive.
