Docker Desktop-1: Installing and Running Ubuntu with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and Docker Desktop on Windows 10/11

We will install a complete Ubuntu terminal environment in minutes with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows 10/11. So you can develop cross-platform applications, improve your data science or web development workflows, and manage IT infrastructure without leaving Windows. Then, We will install Docker Desktop on Windows. After making the necessary settings in the Docker Desktop, we will run Docker commands in the Windows terminal, and run a container. We will observe and examine the running of the container in the browser and Docker Desktop.
