I've installed both Docker and Docker Desktop on my Ubuntu machine, but I'm not sure how to import my currently running containers into Docker Desktop so I can manage them from there. Can anyone help me out?

If you’re looking for a user-friendly way to manage Docker on Ubuntu, you could also consider Rancher. It offers a web-based interface that allows you to monitor and manage containers without the overhead of Docker Desktop, which can be a bit heavy since it's designed for Windows and Mac.
Honestly, running Docker Desktop on Linux seems a bit unnecessary since Docker containers can run natively on your machine. If you're mainly after a GUI to manage everything, you might want to check out Portainer instead. It's a great alternative that doesn’t require running a VM.
I’m pretty new to Docker too. I was curious about Docker Desktop's purpose. From what I've gathered, it lets you run Docker with a GUI without needing to set up the Docker daemon directly. However, it can add layers of complexity and slow things down. For a simpler setup, installing Docker directly might be the way to go. Plus, using Portainer for a GUI is a smart move!
