Well yeah, Docker + Windows isn't the best experience. I recommend WSL if you must go down that route.



It used to be a bit flakey pre-WSL2 integration ~2-3 years back - it's been absolutely rock solid for me on Windows since then, just like on Linux.


You don't even have to bother with Docker Desktop these days, you can start it in `/etc/wsl.conf` directly with `service start docker` and forget about it, it'll start with the VM. I think this is a rather new feature though.


Same, I can't even remember the last time it's crashed for me or anybody on my team.


Unless docker desktop is installed I have no idea how to deal with the changing IP of WSL which is just painful.


I wish installing Docker inside WSL2 wasn't so problematic - the networking part to make it work is messy
