- 411111111111111 4y agoDunno, I think WSL2 is actually better on that front. Just do the super secure "curl get.docker.com|bash" in it and you're golden. Even better UX then docker desktop if you specifically don't want a GUI
- Bilal_io 4y agoI think there are benefits to using Docker on Windows without relying on WSL2, especially when you need to run windows containers that depend on HypervV. I've worked at a few .Net shops that were stuck with .Net Framework with no clear, not easy way to modernize, so perhaps a compromise is containerize the applications into Windows containers.
- isignal 4y agoDoesn’t wsl2’s docker rely on the windows docker desktop? Because there’s no systemd in wsl2, the regular docker service wouldn’t run anyway.
