How Kubernetes works under the hood with Docker Desktop

Running Windows on my laptop I got really confused with Windows docker, docker desktop, wsl docker, docker in a Linux VM. In the end I stuck with WSL Docker as it was the closest to Linux while still native, but its a mess.

Windows docker allows you to run windows in a docker container.

Docker desktop is just the windows interface and GUI for docker.

Docker in a VM is usually a stop gap for windows systems that can't run Linux in hyper-v.

Docker in WSL simply runs the docker containers in WSL rather than in hyper-v or a VM.

Docker in WSL does run a hyper-v VM.

I don't believe that is the case. Docker in hyper-v is deprecated and I'm running docker in WSL right now and nothing is showing as running in the hyper-v console.
