Thanks!

IMHO the most confusing part is the interaction with settings e.g. if using WSL 2 or virtiofs the file access is handled differently; if using Linux the network proxy is different. Maybe a later extension could be to positively recommend particular configurations e.g.

  • on Windows: use Hyper-V: com.docker.backend.exe does networking + filesharing
  • on Mac: use virtualization.framework and gRPC FUSE: com.docker.backend does networking + filesharing
  • on Linux: the file access is performed by virtiofsd and the network by qemu (<-- I think we should simplify that in the product)

Thank you for your speedy review @djs55 and your patience whilst I was on PTO!

The differences between OS and system configs is confusing but also the key bit, so I've rejigged the first section to include a summary table which explains what you've written hopefully in an easy-to-digest-way. LMK WYT ✍️

Thanks, a few suggestions to the table at the top. It will get much less confusing when Docker VMM is out of beta because we can recommend that for max performance and visibility!
