WSL

Activate WSL2 in system components:

Windows features

Or via command line:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Restart Windows and install a Linux distro:

wsl --update
wsl --install -d Ubuntu-24.04

Then make final preparations in Linux terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

# Not sure if this required, but doesn't harm
sudo apt install build-essentials

docker --version
Docker version 27.2.0, build 3ab4256

It also installs kubectl on both the Windows host and Linux instance.

If docker is already has been installed before installation of a Linux distro, the integration with the new distro should be enabled manually in the DOcker Desktop settings:
