From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To maintain the purity of the real system, Docker should be installed in Snap, Snap should be installed in Flatpak, and Flatpak should be installed in Docker.
and to be sure, install all this on a VM image that you'll run in QEMU
In a VM installed via flatpak
And all this because Docker needed libschmu.1.2.3.2 and unfortunately you have only libschmu.1.2.3.1
Using ansible and opentofu from an LXC on your Proxmox host
You forgot about a VMWare layer!
Is that a joke I am too QEMU/KVM to understand?

What exactly is the appeal of Docker Desktop on Linux? I can run docker just fine without it, so what's it doing for me?
I would suspect that making a stable desktop inside docker ensures it would work everywhere else, no matter what the hw/sw of the host is.
I've only known docker as a building environment that ensures rebuildability and I can't say I ever liked it. I think its popularity comes from some myth of safety and security.
Docker desktop is a GUI frontend for docker
This is it. It's for your late sipping Starbucks developer, who needs buttons to click... those luscious, UX'y buttons... I WANNA CLICK THEM!
Okay, so I'm the target demographic. Guilty. Although nowadays I use nspawn, like the maniac I am.
Apparently it lets you set up Kubernetes pretty easily too? idk I don't use Kubernetes.
Minikube is excellent for that already.
At first I read only docker without the context of the Docker Desktop client.
Making docker a one-click installation on all distros is great, altough I wouldn't use it myself.
If they actually make a flatpak I wonder whether they'll only support rootless docker or if it'll ask for elevated permissions through polkit.
I couldn't possibly care less about Docker Desktop. Portainer is a much better solution when graphical administration becomes necessary. (Which should be never)
lol no podman
I personally found Portainer more useful as it doesn’t require a VM unlike Docker desktop.
YES PLEASE
