I’ve just updated Docker Desktop (DD) to the latest version and I’m able to run the first WSL distribution D01. (Laravel 12 Sail, Win 11).

But when I try to work with distribution D02, DD always open D01 in the dashboard (it also open D01 if No distribution is selected): Here are my steps:

• When DD starts, the dashboard shows the images in my default distribution D01,
• Then I setup my second distribution D02 as default; checked with WSL --list
• In DD > Resources > WSL Integration: the checkbox “Enable integration with my default distro” is checked (and nothing else).
• Finally when I reboot DD the dashboard always shows D01 (instead of D02) - why?
• In DD I also tried to manually select D02 , same issue Thanks

Any reason not to remove Docker as default WSL distro?
