Battery consumption of using remote development with WSL2?
Btw #2: For a nice, cross-platform GUI app thing for Docker & Podman here's this one: Podman Desktop Companion.
-
A long-time Windows power user and game developer is looking for a switch to Linux.
Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform, supports Docker too)

About to upgrade my wfh machine. Is moving WSL2 environment as simple as export from old > import on new? Also considering move to docker.
Docker in WSL2 too works but with Podman the environment setup may be a little more flexible depending on what you want to achieve on what distro etc. In any case you can use the cross-platform Podman Desktop Companion app to manage your containers via a GUI.
-
Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?
Both Distrobox and Podman can be installed without root access btw and, here's a neat little GUI for managing Podman & Docker containers: Podman Desktop Companion (cross-platform).
-
FYI: Docker is deleting Open Source organisations
No, that's incorrect. Also, there's the unofficial Pods app, and the Podman Desktop Companion.

Windows Docker keeps crashing while running containers
For a GUI to manage your Podman and/or Docker containers, install the Podman Desktop Companion app (yes, it supports both Podman and Docker). They say that the Windows version can be used to manage the containers running in WSL2 but a more sure way would be to pick the Linux app and to install it in the WSL2 distro your containers are installed & running in.

Docker 2.0 went from $11M to $135M in 2 years
I'm skeptic how long this will last unless they bring out some cutting-edge innovations. I frankly used and loved Docker Desktop for a long time because it was the easiest way to get going and I believe even k8s is included now which is great for hobbyists and those who just want to get things done. But, I've been annoyed by the UX changes and the push to login to docker hub.
While in 2023, there are most certainly great alternatives that are relatively easy to install from the terminal and get going, I guess there's not yet a definitive replacement that comes with the GUI too. Best I can think of is Podman Desktop Companion[1] but not sure how well this works.
