Headlines false, I just did this a few days ago.

Please take a look here: https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-deskto... It does in fact ask the user to login before giving them a download link. The files themselves don't appear to behind a login-wall since people are posting them far and wide. But the website very much implies that you need to register.

  This is a link specifically from the Docker store. Download pages are also linked from multiple places in the documentation, binaries are installable via Docker's package repositories, and generally available far and wide. This is a misleading, sensationalist headline, i.e. clickbait.

    If you go to docker.com, click "get started", click "docker for mac", it sends you to exactly that URL. Sure, maybe there are side links they haven't changed, but this is a pretty clear login-wall.

  The GitHub issue was filed 2 months ago.

  It appears that it did change in last few days because I had a conversation with a teammate and remember asking about signing up for an account and he showed me how to download without. However, today I cannot find the same navigation path when trying so I think something changed.

Are you sure you loggin wasn't saved & you were actually logged in? :) I had to install docker for a new project @ work recently and was forced to create a login & sign in (as I was not previously registered). I guess direct downloads are still possible since people are posting links, but navigating through the Docker website does not present you with those options. Super disappointing

  I'm 100% positive I did this last week because I explicitly remember asking my colleague if we need to create an account or not. He said no but it appears the site has changed.

    Wish I would have found those direct download links before. They got me! Sneaky bastards :)
