I'm sorry to see this "regular error" with Docker Desktop, but for ArchLinux-based distributions, try the following this workround to fix it:

• paru -S docker-cli-bin or yay -S docker-cli-bin

Then try to run docker login for authentication. If you seeing error like this: Error: password store is empty. Try "pass init", please try to generate a new GPG key or using existing one to initializing pass store.

paru -S docker-cli-bin Tks @yai-dev, this fix for me.

I'm using Garuda XFCE Linux arch 6.2.1-x64v1-xanmod1-1

I had the same issue. I missed the step of installing the base docker as defined in the instructions

2. Install Docker client binary on Linux. On Arch-based distributions, users must install the Docker client binary. Static binaries for the Docker client are available for Linux (as docker).

I am using Manjaro. I do not have paru or yay installed nor intend to. I simply ran sudo pacman -S docker and everything immediately began working.

Thanks @frctnlss! This worked for me.
