It does not seem to start correctly, using this hack:

Refer: https://github.com/docker/desktop-linux/issues/94

Had to close and launch it twice, to see the application properly, it might have hung, start without logon; however additional reading said the start-up process could take some time. You might want to skip this step until you generate the keys.

/opt/docker-desktop/bin/com.docker.backend

Original Docker Desktop Target that DID NOT WORK

Menu Libre Command

/opt/docker-desktop/bin/docker-desktop

You also need to generate keys before you can logon

Refer: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/get-started/#credentials-management-for-linux-users

gpg --generate-key

You'll need to grab the generated public key from the above command, to use with pass init command, as follows:

pass init <your_generated_gpg-id_public_key>

Basic Installation

Refer: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-docker-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts-focal-fossa

Use the apt command to install the docker.io package:

$ sudo apt install docker.io

Start docker and enable it to start after the system reboot:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now docker

Optionally give any user administrative privileges to docker:

$ sudo usermod -aG docker SOMEUSERNAME

Reboot Computer to Verify

$ reboot

Stop Docker from auto starting upon reboot

Refer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/766318/disable-docker-autostart-at-boot

sudo systemctl disable docker.service
sudo systemctl disable docker.socket

Then start and stop Docker as a service

sudo service docker start
sudo service docker stop

Check docker version:

$ docker --version

Verify Installation

$ docker run hello-world
