Setting Up Docker on Fedora System
Hey Everyone,
Question is about setting up Docker in Fedora. I'm already used to using it, and want to in large part transition my workflows over to Linux. I was reading the documentation for installation on Dockers website, and it claims that I need to install the gnome-terminal, which is odd to me. I'm assuming that this is default terminal in GNOME, and was curious as to why I needed another terminal to access Docker. If I say didn't want to install it, could I get away with not breaking some dependency within Docker, or is it just to access and manipulate containers via the terminal. I tried googling it around, and couldn't find anything, even asking AI which then returned I wouldn't need GNOME Terminal, but since it provided no source, I'm not inclined to fully believe that. Thanks again y'all, appreciate the help.

Yeah doesn't make sense. I would suggest using Podman instead of Docker
you don't need gnome-terminal to use docker, I remember they started recommending installing docker-desktop even on linux though
Search for 'docker engine setup'

As mentioned, they push people to the desktop app 🤷♂️
