I'm trying to download Docker Desktop on my Ubuntu machine, but I'm having trouble. I can only get the Docker daemon and CLI to work. What can I do to successfully install Docker Desktop?

I'm curious why you want Docker Desktop specifically for Linux. Aren't you okay with just using the CLI? A lot of people seem to prefer the command line over a graphical interface here.

You can go ahead and install Docker, and then check out Dockhand for a GUI option. That could be a good fit if you're looking for something similar to Docker Desktop.

Check out the official installation docs for Ubuntu here: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/linux/ubuntu/. But seriously, why the preference for Docker Desktop? I don’t get it since many find the UI lacking.

Honestly, Docker Desktop isn't necessary on Linux. You might want to consider using Portainer instead since it's a good alternative for managing your containers.
