What's Docker Desktop exactly?
The thing that I have to install on MacOS so that I can run docker. Is there any other way(i.e no gui utility) ?
Can't speak for anyone else, but my company is migrating away from Docker Desktop to Rancher in order to save money. We'll see how well that goes.
Their Rancher Desktop offering seems to be promising: https://rancherdesktop.io/
Much the same way how Podman Desktop seems nice: https://podman-desktop.io/
Though personally, Docker has always been a safe bet (both the desktop software, as well as the container runtime), I think I'll stick with it for a few years and let others take the early adopter risks, and use the alternatives when they've been more battle tested.
Rancher Desktop has been working great for me, so I'm not sure they'll be able to keep increasing their numbers with so closely comparable free competitors. I'd be curious what the breakdown is in terms of how much of their value is from Docker Desktop vs. Docker Hub vs. ancillary features.

You can use Colima to get the same functionality, minus auto-start on boot. https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

The parent comment was talking about Docker desktop, which is clearly targeted at macos and windows. Saying that you can just download it with an apt command is irrelevant to the discussion, because we can't use that outside of linux.
I didn't know what it was, so I didn't know it was only for macos and windows. If instead of being sarcastic he had just answered my question, I wouldn't have said something irrelevant.

Just like I don't know anybody that pays for Oracle... because I live in a bubble.
Oracle had a 2022 yearly revenue of $42.4 billion. If Docker increased their revenue ten-fold it would still be around 40 times smaller than Oracle.
I remember everyone had written Docker off for dead when they announced their updated pricing plans, but they really made perfect sense, and I am happy to see the company recover. A large chunk of the tech world today relies on their products, but they were making next to nothing for it. It is definitely worth it for large companies to throw a few dollars their way considering the massive amount of value they are get…
I'm surprised by this as well, but maybe it was the HN bias that made that impression. My company received the memo from Docker to upgrade to paid version, and I helped many to move on to Podman. However there were teams for which getting a Docker Desktop license was easier than the Podman move. I am sure there are many more companies that can easily afford the convenience of Docker Desktop for a trivial fee.
The whole of Docker Desktop isn't replaceable with a drop-in alternative today but parts of it are, and the rest could be very soon if an org with the resources and ability keeps developing things like podman.
So what would Docker as a company do when the equivalent of what happens to Swarm happens to Desktop? Pivot again?

I've never seen that get you to $120M ARR. Have any examples?
What a strange argument. So if it hasn’t happened before it’s impossible?
