Just set up new Windows 11 machine. Will not use WSL because I need VirtualBox for many other things. Have also read about the trials and tribulations others have with this.

So, is there a list of projects that do not require Docker?
Is there a way to turn off the Nag-o-Gram "Some projects require Docker"?

To keep this installation reliable, I'm just not going to contribute to the Docker projects with this (or any other) Windows machine. On Linux may be different story, but not on Windows.

Thanks,

No projects actually require it currently. BOINC Central use it as does one other project. I installed it just to play but then got rid of it because it doesn't play nicely with VB.
