Good question. As noted above, "If sharing the Docker daemon between WSL instances is desired, configure it to use a socket stored in the shared /mnt/wsl directory."

Of course, if you only have one WSL instance (such as Ubuntu alone, and no other distros), then sharing may not be needed, and you can leave the default socket alone.

I hope this helps!
