> also supports WSL2 as a backend. Also known as a VM, but maybe you get better warm up times. My main complaints are with the "docker desktop" app experience - not so much "docker" itself VM or otherwise. It adds so little to docker for the license cost too, at least so far. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/compare-versio... You can simply install docker in a VM/WSL2 natively yourself and avoid docker desktop/licensing altogether. "Docker Desktop" is/was really a tool to simplify getting a Linux Kernel (the critical dependency for cross-platform container dev) on non-Linux platforms IMO, which seems wild to pay for to me in its current state and when Windows has a great built in VM via WSL2 anyway. That it even exists on Linux now (recent addition) is kinda amusing - on MacOS and Windows there is at least some argument to be made it simplifies getting the kernel... |
