this time it's docker, was: removing wslview from Ubuntu-only computers?

Hello all,

I may, lucky me, just have come across another instance of being

At the moment, I do not have docker installed on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS box.

One hour ago, I got a project for which I have to run on this box an
application that may only be available as docker container or npm package.

I have already used both systems in the past, getting a BAD taste from
npm, and no particular problems with docker.

So docker it will be, said I, as the lesser of two evils, and got this:

Command 'docker' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install docker         # version 20.10.17, or
sudo apt  install docker.io      # version 20.10.21-0ubuntu1~22.04.2
sudo apt  install podman-docker  # version 3.4.4+ds1-1ubuntu1
See 'snap info docker' for additional versions.

my instinct would be to go with the second option, docker.io

But after seeing in the vslview discussion how deep and full of
undocumented/unsolved surprises these rabbit holes can be, I am not
going to choose anything before asking here as many opinions as
possible.

For me, all I care about is that the installation messes up my system
as little as possible, and is removable without side effects right
after that project is finished. Thoughts?

TIA,
	Marco
