I am lucky I have found your articles, but I still need a time to digest the knowledge you shared with us.
I am not sure if I am exactly tired of the whale in the system tray, but let's say I can imagine it might have been a perfect solution for me if only the systray part of Docker Desktop wasn't so deeply integrated.

In the post on docker forum, I am trying to describe what I would like to achieve.
forums.docker.com/t/docker-desktop...
I still haven't lost hope, that it is achievable to run both windows and wsl2 containers on one machine and sharing the resources.

It would be great if you find some time to look on it and post what do you think about it.
I pretty sure I am just missing some small thing to make it work :)
It might be a lack of knowledge is hiding some workaround for me.

thanks in advance

Interesting use case. Can you run Docker Desktop for windows containers, then use the methods described in this article for linux containers?
