Keep in mind that you're using prerelease software and, while the Windows Insiders Slow ring is very stable, you may run into some issues. I'm also using the Remote - Containers extension within WSL for testing specific environments without setting things up directly on my machine. I've personally noticed a vast improvement in container execution times using this configuration and each part of my typical development workflow remains the same. Notice how in the screenshot below, I'm connected and working in WSL and still building/running containers without changing from my preferred environment (zsh in Ubuntu). And because the Docker CLI's context is set to use DockerD in WSL, the extension will work with your containers regardless of whether you opened VS Code using the Remote - WSL extension. If you're already running WSL 2 and the Remote - WSL extension, this will help you get Docker integrated into your WSL workflow rather than switching contexts when you need containers.

With this set up and running, you can install the VS Code Docker extension and access your containers. Running the docker ps command over in WSL, you'll see the container as expected. With that configured, all commands will execute in the Linux context - this includes Docker commands run from PowerShell so running something like docker run mongo… will start a Linux container within the WSL VM. If you have multiple Linux distros, make sure you only have WSL integration turned on for the correct one in your Docker settings: This option will allow you to access Docker Desktop via the Docker CLI directly from within your Linux distro. You want to Enable WSL integration for this tutorial. Once installed, Docker will recognize that you have WSL installed and prompt to enable WSL integration. Install the Docker WSL 2 Technical Preview.

This article explains how the Docker Desktop technical preview works as well as how to use the Docker extension with the technical preview. Since this announcement, the Docker team has released a Technical Preview of Docker that includes support for running with WSL 2. All of this is made possible with the recent changes to the architecture of WSL to run within a lightweight virtual machine (VM), which we talked about in an earlier blog post about WSL 2.
Maby Matt Hernandez, June, the Docker team announced that they will be investing in getting Docker running with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
