Ubuntu or Windows for docker hosting? (alien.top)

So I've got an old PC with a SSD for root drive, and then a HDD with 1tb for external.

I've been told linux is the way to go for self-hosting docker containers, whether it be portainer to manage, sonarr, etc.

I'm running into nothing but round arounds with linux and I just can't seem to figure this out. Can I just use windows instead to host my docker images? How can I point to my external drive to host all the docker stuff so my SSD doesn't get crowded?

I'm lost here.

IIRC docker on Windows lives inside WSL, so everything is done on Linux anyway. What's the issues you're getting?
