[Hidden-tech] Installing Linux --> Docker on Win10

[Alan Frank]

But that's not the end of the story.  I could run Fedora, but Docker 
still needed WSL2.  It turns out that is possible, notwithstanding the 
MS document which says that it isn't.  Going to the Docker community 
forum, I found 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/29175/installation-of-hyper-v-on-windows-10-home.html 
, which provides the instructions suggested in the URL.

I tracked down (with difficulty) the way to revert to WSL1
(https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/590):

wsl --set-default-version 1

After executing this, I was able to run Fedora.

I appreciate some of the other suggestions, and they might have been
theoretically better, but given that I felt I was most of the way
there, I didn't want to start over with something new.

Thanks to all,

Alan
