No that's not correct. Docker runs on Linux. Docker _Desktop_ is an indirection tool, a glorified network stitcher, that runs VMs to make it appear like you are running Docker on other systems (Win/Mac). Docker _Desktop_ installs a VM by default, likely in a bid for consistency across platforms. On Linux you should not be installing Docker Desktop, only Docker Engine.
