Docker Desktop is an easy-to-use Docker container integrated development environment (IDE). It includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Docker Content Trust, Kubernetes, and Credential Helper. With it, you can easily build and share containerized applications and microservices. There’s only been one problem: It hasn’t been available for the Linux desktop.
This isn’t like a Windows game or Mac photo-editing program, where you can see why there isn’t a Linux version. Docker and containers live on Linux in production. But, at long last, and many Docker developers’ requests, Docker is delivering a Docker Desktop for the Linux desktop.
