Using Docker with a Non-Default WSL Distro

Asked By MaverickPineapple42 On

I've noticed that Docker defaults to enabling integration with the default WSL distro, but I'm hoping to use a different one. If I uncheck that option, will Docker still function properly with WSL? Do I need to set up a separate distro, or will it use the Docker Desktop distro instead? I've already checked the documentation and done some Googling but couldn't find a clear answer.

You should be fine unchecking that option! Docker can still work with a non-default WSL distro. You don't necessarily need to install a separate one; the Docker Desktop distro can handle it just fine. Just make sure your preferred distro is set up correctly. It might take a little configuration, but it should work!

Thanks for clarifying! I was worried about having to set up everything from scratch.
