I was curious of peoples thoughts on the changes in Docker (Desktop) subscription model.  

It seems to allow for educational use for free but large usages requires fee based subscriptions.  

I believe it’s limited to “Docker Desktop” so assume the underlying docker functionality may not be fully impacted but was curious for thoughts on it none the less.

I've never used "Docker Desktop" but I have noticed a gradual fading of enthusiasm for Docker.  Docker, is, after all, only one of the containerization systems available under the Linux OCI container architecture.

While I'm not totally up-to-date on Kubernetes, I've had the impression that they favor an alternative these days. Definitely on the Fedora platform the encouraged technology is Podman and has been for a while.
