I've just installed Docker on my Windows 10 computer, but I'm running into a ton of errors like 'Engine stopped' and 'Not able to fetch extensions.' It's so frustrating to deal with open source programs that don't work right out of the box. Right now, all I see is the icon in the system tray. I clicked on the program to open it again, but the UI still says 'docker engine stopped' and everything else is greyed out. I have 16GB of RAM, and about half is free, so that's not the issue. What's going on?

That sounds like it could be a bug. There’s a known issue that others have reported which you can check out [here](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/14794). If it's possible, try running Docker on a different OS that supports it natively—it might be more stable for you!
Oh man, I feel your pain. Docker Desktop can be a real headache! It drove me crazy too with its random glitches. I simplified everything on WSL and started migrating my stuff to ProxMox instead. Honestly, starting with ProxMox from the get-go might save you a lot of frustration down the line!
Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, I only have this Windows machine to work with.
