desktop

I am new to Docker/Kubernetes and trying to see if there is a way to get 'Docker Desktop' like functionality on Ubuntu, which is my primary development machine. All I know from my search is that the 'Docker Desktop' is only from Windows and Mac.

It contains many useful tools bundled together as below which is great for someone like me who is new to the ecosystem :

Docker Desktop includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Notary, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper.

What is the context in which Docker desktop runs?

Docker announced in a blog post (16-Sep-2021):

Docker Desktop for Linux will be available to all developers through the free Docker Personal and paid Docker Pro, Team, and Business subscriptions. If you’re interested in early access please sign-up for our developer preview program.

That's good news! While the Desktop features are not really "required" on Linux, I've grown to like the user interface and not needing to behave differently on the Linux platform is very welcome!
