You mean Pop OS? It is based on Ubuntu but it is not Ubuntu similarly how Ubuntu is not Debian just based on Debian. The documentation has separate instructions for Ubuntu and Debian. I don’t know about Pop OS. Maybe it is compatible with Ubuntu, but if there is any difference, a new version of Docker might not work on Pop OS which could work on Ubuntu. I don’t see anything useful in the logs except

which means there is a misconfiguration issue probably and Systemd restarted Docker too many times. You need to fix the config and then strat Docker. Try running the dockerd command in a terminal and add the --debug flag. See what id tells you.
