Excellent explanation! Thank you very much!

I wonder if we exit out of docker desktop, will WSL2 release the resources it had consumed during the session (in this case, there were 2 docker demo being ran)?
Which process controls the system resources consumption when running the containers - is it docker desktop or WSL2?
And how to control the availability of the resources (aka preventing the run away situation when no resources is left on the host computer & system hangs while running docker projects)?

Ive followed every step of your’s but while installing docker i cannot see “ install required windows components for WSL 2”

Some people said WSL2 and Docker use all RAM on host machine. Have you ever experienced this?
