The next biggest change is that Docker runs everywhere today. Docker for Desktop is well integrated for use on Apple and Microsoft operating systems. It hides the underlying virtual machine from users. For the most part, this is a success; on macOS, the experience is nearly seamless. On Windows, things seem to go well at least for a few moments. Windows users will deal with an intimidating number of configuration variations from corporate firewalls, aggressive antivirus configuration, shell preferences, and several layers of indirection. That variation makes delivering written content for Windows impossible. Any attempt to do so would age out before the material went to production. For that reason, we’ve again limited the included syntax and system-specific material to Linux and macOS. A reader just might find that all the examples actually run in their environment, but we can’t promise that they will or reasonably help guide troubleshooting efforts.
