There are many devs that have little to no experience of Linux, like the hundreds of thousands of .Net and Java CRUD devs in enterprise companies using Windows.

There is a need for a Docker desktop like GUI for this market.



Java CRUD devs have been getting into Linux a lot more in recent years since learning more about how DevOps does their work is important and integrated in with our projects, like the Dockerfile, Helm files, etc. I was already into Linux before Java was even released. I'd say even .Net devs are too since .Net Core is becoming more important in their world.


When I was a teen I had no experience with software development. Then I went to school and learned about it. Now I'm making money doing this thing because I became quite good.

The world didn't fit around me, so I made "me" fit around "the world". I bet those stubborn dinosaurs can learn a new trick or two also, if management lets them do it during working ours...


Huh? https://docs.docker.com/desktop/setup/install/windows-instal...

Also, WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) has been baked into Windows for a long time and makes it very easy to play with Linux, as does using the Hyper-V VM system. Any developer unfamiliar with Linux because they use Windows, has little excuse.


Agreed, even game devs that ignore Linux as target for their AAA games, actually tend to use Linux for game servers, the age of IIS with .NET/ISAPI is long gone, except for legacy code stuck in .NET Framework.

Modern .NET did not went cross platform by accident, and Java development has always been "develop on Windows deploy on UNIX", in corporations where Mac tends to have little presence.


docker's sandboxes are cli only atm
