A computer with what characteristics is needed for normal operation of the docker desktop in Windows?

Question

Docker

I have an old laptop with 8GB Core i5 RAM. I tried to run the Laravel Sail docker desktop on Windows using wsl. As a result, phpStorm simply did not open. And in general, the docker devours almost all the resources of the computer, but he is not needed alone. Please tell me, what are the main characteristics of a computer with a docker desktop? Or is it easier to demolish Windows and install Linux?

Answer 1

Install a virtual machine with Linux
, allocate 2GB to it, install Docker
