WSL 1 was indeed different and that was not a virtual machine, but WSL 2, which is required by Docker Desktop (or HyperV) is a VM. Only the kernel will be common, but that wouldn’t be different with containers as they “use” the kernel of the host. If you run multiple WSL2 distributions, you are isolated. If you don’t use WSL2 as a backend, then the other option is Hyper-V so you will always have a virtual machine. WSL2 at least just a light-weight, special VM, although there are reports about using too much memory, but I have never experienced that during the period I run it usually. How could you break something on your host machine? By the way Docker Desktop uses WSL2 by default which is a virtual machine so you can’t do it without a VM. Please don’t speak about WSL because even there, I’m not isolated and can break things on my host machine
