- dns_snek 7mo agoDocker Engine (the "CLI") only works on Linux. "Desktop" is supposed to offer a unified experience across platforms, it offers a GUI, ships Docker Engine inside a virtual machine so that it works on Windows and MacOS, and tries to make the VM as transparent/invisible as possible (with varying success) with filesystem mounts and network configuration.
- kkapelon 7mo agoIt also includes a local k8s cluster. So you get 2 in 1 package.
- normie3000 7mo agoWhy would you want that?
- kkapelon 7mo agoBecause several developers that work with docker also deploy to Kubernetes. So docker-desktop is a one-click method to get both on your workstation and deploy locally.
