Ensures that all executables required by Docker Desktop on Windows exist in the default PATH of the WSL distribution.
Compose links to Docker Desktop by opening 'docker-desktop://' URLs through xdg-open.
Docker Desktop's WSL integration is able to start the proxy by itself and to stop it upon shut down. Keeping a systemd unit under the management of NixOS is not only unnecessary but also comes with its own issues: - We will ultimately have to play catch up with Docker Desktop whenever they change their flags. - The service is running constantly, or worse, fails constantly when the docker-desktop instance is unavailable unless we add some better prerequisite detection to the unit.
Docker Desktop comes with its own 'docker' and CLI plugin executables already, including Compose. Docker Desktop symlinks those executables in the /usr/bin directory of the WSL instance whenever it is up and removes them when it shuts down. If the user wants to install their own 'docker' program they are free to do so, but it is by no means something that Docker Desktop requires.
