## What it is
Docker Desktop for Windows is an application that provides an integrated Docker container experience on Microsoft Windows, including the Docker Engine, CLI, Compose, and Kubernetes support. This repository itself is the bug tracker for the Windows version and is being sunset in favor of a new desktop-feedback repository.

## Use cases
- run docker containers on windows
- report a bug in docker desktop for windows
- set up docker with wsl2 on windows
- run kubernetes locally on windows
- develop containerized apps on a windows machine
- find known issues with docker desktop on windows

## When to choose
- you develop or run containerized applications on Windows and want a GUI-integrated Docker experience
- you need to file or track bugs specifically for Docker Desktop on Windows
- you want bundled Docker Engine, Compose, and Kubernetes on a Windows machine

## When to avoid
- you run Linux or macOS natively - use the platform-specific Docker Desktop instead
- you only need the Docker Engine on a Linux server - install Docker Engine directly
- you want active issue tracking - this repo is being sunset in favor of the desktop-feedback repository
- you need guaranteed support responses - issues here are handled on a best-effort basis only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: container-runtime, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, windows
- platform: windows
- tags: docker-desktop, issue-tracker, containers, hyper-v, wsl2, kubernetes, bug-tracker, virtualization, devops, docker, desktop
