Docker - Hyper-V instead of WSL 2?

Docker
1

In learning how to use Docker on install I am being asked to install Docker and to make sure Hyper-V is active. The problem is that the Docker installer says to use WSL 2 instead of Hyper-V.

Are we going to use Hyper-V or are we going to use WSL 2? I thought the point was not to use VMs to reduce the requirements of processing and resource hoggery? Or am I wrong?

Cheers.

So to rephrase. We used to need both Hyper-V and WSL. Then we could use WSL2 only. And Hyper-V is no more needed so they will abandon it to focus on WSL2.
