Friendly reminder: you do not need the fcuking Docker Desktop. It's sluggish, wannabe AI enhanced, idk what else it does, fancy dashboard(?).
Basically all that is needed can be handled from the cli, goddamn.
Also it does create the infamous ~/.docker/desktop/vms/0/data/Docker.raw and this is (despite a setting in the GUI) often overridden by Docker resulting in insane amounts of storage taken by this volume.
And to make this worse, it's a static size regardless of whether there is something inside or not. Any prune won't make it smaller.
And if there is encryption in place it will get stuck forever creating this volume black box blob.
It's really beyond my understanding why the Desktop is always bundled with many installation guides, war crime this is.
