    What exactly is the appeal of Docker Desktop on Linux? I can run docker just fine without it, so what’s it doing for me?

      Apparently it lets you set up Kubernetes pretty easily too? idk I don’t use Kubernetes.

      I would suspect that making a stable desktop inside docker ensures it would work everywhere else, no matter what the hw/sw of the host is.
      I’ve only known docker as a building environment that ensures rebuildability and I can’t say I ever liked it. I think its popularity comes from some myth of safety and security.

          This is it. It’s for your late sipping Starbucks developer, who needs buttons to click… those luscious, UX’y buttons… I WANNA CLICK THEM!

          Okay, so I’m the target demographic. Guilty. Although nowadays I use nspawn, like the maniac I am.

        lol some myth you apparently use it for since it does not look like a bit of things are properly understood here ;)
