Low-quality UX (e.g. you have to switch tabs and switch back if you ever want to see the current state of your containers, because it loads it once when you open the tab and never updates, and doesn't even give you a button to refresh it), lack of documentation, behavioural changes that happen silently (e.g. it autoupdates which changes the VM hostname, so the thing that was working yesterday doesn't work today and you have no idea why) and general flakiness.

I concur. My company is using Rancher Desktop on Windows machines. No problems. As long as you use don't care about GUI, and just use CLI dommands ("docker" , "docker compose" ).

Why not use Docker Engine/CE on Linux so you don't have to run a VM?
