I am also curious about this.

Reading the FAQ (https://docs.rancherdesktop.io/faq):

*Q: I can no longer run docker compose after installing Rancher Desktop and uninstalling Docker Desktop, what happened?*

*A: The docker compose subcommand is bundled as part of a Docker Desktop installation and is removed when uninstalled. Follow these instructions to install it.*

It also stated you can have both Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop installed, but only one can be running at a time as it shares the same docker socket. I might try installing Rancher Desktop and stopping Docker Desktop and seeing if it all works as expected.
