Windows docker allows you to run windows in a docker container.
Docker desktop is just the windows interface and GUI for docker.
Docker in a VM is usually a stop gap for windows systems that can't run Linux in hyper-v.
Docker in WSL simply runs the docker containers in WSL rather than in hyper-v or a VM.
