To deploy a docker container to a Windows host you first need to install a Linux virtual machine (via WSL which is using Hyper-V under the hood).
It's basically the same process for FreeBSD (minus the optimizations), right?
Containers still need to match the host OS/architecture they are just sandboxed and layer in their own dependencies separate from the host.
But yeah you can't run them directly. Same for Windows except I guess there are actual windows docker containers that don't require WSL but if people actually use those it'd be news to me.
There's also this cursed thing called Windows containers

Yeah I keep discord in one so that it can't hook my GPU and audio devices.
