I'm trying to go beyond the 1TB limit that Docker Desktop enforces (I saw it at the bottom of the UI). I attempted to change it to 2TB in the WSL settings, but it doesn't seem to work. I found information about this limit on Docker's blog. Does anyone know how to actually increase this limit?

Hey there! To help you better, I'd like to know more about your setup. When you run the command 'wsl -l -v' in the terminal, do you see a distro listed as docker-desktop-data?
You might want to check this resource I found: [link]. It explains how to expand the size of your WSL 2 virtual hard disk. However, I recommend considering not using Docker Desktop if you're just doing some straightforward dev work.
Could you explain why using Docker Desktop is discouraged? I'm not a DevOps pro; I just do some development stuff.
I tried using the resize command to set it to 2TB, but the limit on Docker Desktop still shows as 1TB.
I'm using a Windows host with WSL. When I run that command, I see a distro called docker-desktop.
