" got it, first I fixed my broken repository and reinstalled qemu-system-x86
did a little house cleaning with
apt --fix-broken install
It was very busy repairing years of damage I surely caused.
Also I made sure Docker was not running during this install
Then I ran
sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb
it did not work and returned
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unsupported file ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb given on commandline
So I did it the other way
sudo dpkg -i ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb
Bingo Number 5 is alive. LOL
Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction and
encouraging me learn how to talk in this forum
