Proposed fix: [Docker Desktop + WSL2 distro] 'Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?' inside Ubuntu — WSL integration not enabled for that di
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: In Docker Desktop: Settings > Resources > WSL Integration, enable the distro (restart the terminal). If the section is missing, switch to Linux containers. Avoid running a separate dockerd in the distro unless intended; check docker context ls.
Option: Enable WSL integration for the distro [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Docker Desktop users
Steps:
1. Docker Desktop > Settings > Resources > WSL Integration > toggle your distro
2. Apply & restart; reopen the WSL terminal
3. docker context ls / docker version to verify
Expected: docker commands reach Desktop's engine
