Did you really know what provides @Docker Desktop for you?
Obviously it will start a Virtual Machine with Docker Engine installed and setup, but Docker Compose, Docker Scan, BuildKit will be there too, ready to use! #Docker 1/5
It will also setup proxies and services, such as DNS, to interact between your local machine and the VM, like a native Linux setup, with volumes, networks, port bindings, so you don't have to manage this by yourself. 2/5
You will also be able to configure the resources used by Docker Desktop (CPU, memory ...), setup your company proxy or start a whole configured local K8S cluster within a click 3/5
This whole ecosystem is now keep up to date by small delta updates and if you encountered issues you can easily generate diagnostic to report us a bug with all the needed logs
And of course those experience should be the same for Windows, Mac Intel or Mac M1 users 4/5
So yes, you can run a VM with Docker Engine setup by yourself, but you won't have the same Developer Experience than Docker Desktop and you'll quickly face issue when working with volumes and networks for example 5/5
