Although just today I was having some Windows containers hiccups, I am looking forward to the day that Microsoft doesn't require installing a third party solution (Docker) to use them.

And for anyone looking to migrate away from docker desktop on Windows for use with VSCode I wrote this guide: https://gist.github.com/tdamsma/06cafea175d6784aea7b3634bb94...
It doesn't help for Windows containers though.
https://github.com/woachk/dockerinstall for a very minimal install, stuff other than that is unneeded for Windows containers.
Thanks, that is more what I was looking for.
Install a WSL machine. Install docker (or containerd, or whatever) in it. Install docker-cli on your host, then use `docker context` to use the server in WSL. 20min of effort if your Google fu is good.

If you need something like the docker desktop UI, check out portainer.

Thanks it doesn't help for Windows containers, that was my point.
