Quoting https://docs.docker.com/machine/get-started/ ,

Docker Desktop for Windows uses Microsoft Hyper-V for virtualization, and Hyper-V is not compatible with Oracle VirtualBox. Therefore, you cannot run the two solutions simultaneously.

My question is... if both Docker and VirtualBox use Hyper-V what about WSL 2.0? Does that use Hyper-V and does using WSL 2.0 mean that I can't use VirtualBox?

I'm also going to guess that Docker and WSL 2.0 wouldn't be an issue if I use Docker Desktop WSL 2 as opposed to the regular Docker Desktop on Windows?

    You misunderstood: VirtualBox does not use Hyper-V. WSL 2 does. WSL 1 doesn't and so is compatible with VirtualBox.

    The in depth cause is somewhat similar with "How to run Hyper-V and VirtualBox simultaneously". See this answer, it works but slow as hell :(
