Request: Ability to name preferred WSL environment

Open aep-sunlife opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Description

Currently, Docker Desktop blindly applies the default WSL environment. However, VPN's and other components are often incompatible with Docker's need for WSL v2. So the user ends up with multiple environments.

You already select a predictable name for this distribution, docker-desktop. Please select this named distro, instead of following the default environment.

Better yet, allow the user to name a custom environment, in case they want to replace docker-desktop with yet another WSL distribution.
