Docker is a deployment tool and obviously needed by enterprises and I don't think anyone sane using it for their own localhost.

You don't really have to use it though. ext works flawlessly.

Check out this video from one of major X maintainer of the past:

Today I learned me and a heap of web developers I know aren't sane.

Okay I guess I just need to sleep and had to make it somewhat more clear: I never seen anyone using docker for deployment of any software for Linux Desktop. There are superior channels formats for this purpose.

Web developers usually need docker on their localhost just so it's work the same way as production environment. Though when you compare Windows on desktop and Linux on desktop you not gonna use docker at all.
