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.

Now let me go wash my hands, keyboard and my screen after typing that
