Hi guys, I have no problem running docker (containers) via CLI, but I though it would be nice try Docker Desktop on my Ubuntu machine. But as soon as I start Docker Desktop it runs “starting Docker engine” indefinitely until my drive is full. The .docker folder then is about 70GB large. I read somewhere that this is the virtual disk size that is being created and that I could change it in the settings, but those are blocked until the engine starting process is finished (which it never does). Anyone else has experienced this?

Thanks, it seems to not help though. Docker Desktop still says “Starting the Docker Engine…” while my disk space is shrinking fast and these commands run indefinitely.
