How would that work if you're using WSL? Docker for Desktop uses WSL but creates it's own separate VM (if you can call it a VM).
Would I be able to install and run Docker inside Ubuntu's WSL distro to avoid paying for Docker for Desktop?

I may have had to expose the Docker socket for VS Code containers support to work, but that wasn't any pain, and secured with TLS.
Never needed Docker Desktop, which seemed like a bloated mess.
So install the client inside WSL and the engine on a Linux VM.
EDIT: https://raesene.github.io/blog/2018/11/11/Docker-18-09-SSH/ was a blog I wrote when that feature landed, AFAIK it works the same way now :)
If you need to use `docker` command under Powershell, maybe exposing docker socket to Windows host would probably work. I didn't try it as I don't need it.
