i didn't want to write it so drastically, but that was also my experience in the years i had used it on windows.

The latest Docker Desktop release for MacOS has been out for a couple of days now, and it's made the whole thing - including the daemon - entirely non-functional. This update brought "extensions" (aka liabilities, enabled by default of course), disabling them plays a part in the issue. People at Docker are "looking into it".

Their pricing seems fair, that is, until you start calculating in all the never-ending stream of problems they're causing, the majority being completely unnecessary and easily avoidable.

So yeah, hence my somewhat emotional response :)
