Docker Desktop on Windows is cursed and I can't stop using it

Docker Desktop on Windows is a Russian nesting doll of abstraction. Linux VM to run containers that run Linux. File system performance is a joke. It randomly eats RAM.

And yet. I run Immich on it. I tested a dozen self-hosted apps on it. The convenience is undeniable.

Every few months I threaten to switch to proper Linux. Then Docker Desktop starts working again. The cycle continues.
