The lifecycle of someone using Docker for the first time: 1: I'm comfortable using Windows, surely the tools exist? 2: Hmm... What about a Linux VM? 3: ah what's this thing called WSL? 4: f it I'm dual booting

Docker for Linux is pretty easy… Docker for Windows is… much less so. Restart your WSL2 VM 100 times while choosing the right base image for your specific Windows kernel. To be fair, compatibility seems to be improving over the last year or so. You’ll get there, with some lost hair, probably…

Step 5: accept that life is suffering

I work with Kubernetes/Containerization on Linux and Ive been trying to get Windows nodes to play nicely for one of our integrations. It's been a little awful. I never really understood how much Windows moved into userspace, so Windows Containers really need whole service packages in the container making them pretty big. In addition, having it work with HyperV is another set of API's and stuff that I just didn't consider.

I feel like Windows still doesn't fully "get" containers, or rather, their architecture is so different and sprawling it's hard to make isolation mechanisms for them. I'm hoping some strides are made in that department.

Native or WSL? (or both?)

You could use Docker desktop for windows which comes with a UI and CLI. If your intention is to build linux based images on windows, use WSL2 backend while installing docker desktop.

WSL2 is nothing but the Linux kernel running on windows. It’s so much easier than dual booting.

Honest answer - it will work 95 percent of the time. The other 5 it will fail for seemingly no reason - same dockerfiles build just fine on “pure” Linux.
