No, Docker supports native Windows containers. Docker Desktop aims to provide the same experience across Mac and Windows and as such those use Linux VM's, yes.

No, Docker supports native Windows containers. Docker Desktop aims to provide the same experience across Mac and Windows and as such those use Linux VM's, yes. However Docker most definitely supports Windows containers.

Sorry, that's right. You can probably guess that all of my Windows Docker use is with Linux images. This particular script wouldn't work as there is no node image for a native windows host (unless there is? again, I'm ignorant of native windows containers).

  Windows Services for Linux can install a Ubuntu image for ready usage.

    Also ignorant - I have WSL/DockerDesktop etc... I run ubuntu desktop in a vbox VM. If I run ubuntu desktop on docker, I have to RDP into it. What type of container will WSL build? A desktop - or headless with CLI? Finally - which is lighter-weight, Vbox VM, or a Docker container, or whatever WSL makes? EDIT: NM - I understand the answer now.

      > What type of container will WSL build? Pretty sure WSL is installing the full OS as a guest, a la VirtualBox
