Docker Desktop throwing Fatal Error at Startup on MacPro M4

Docker Desktop
1

Hi,
I am getting really frustrated when trying to run Docker desktop on my new M4 Mac Pro. Every time, I restart my machine, I get a fatal error at startup and the only way to use Docker Desktop is to install it again and again.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!

It is actually 4.43.1 now. You could try that. There was a similar bug report years ago

You could also search for “com.docker.driver.amd64-linux” among issues on https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues. It seems there were some, but not recently, so you can create a new issue if you see your issue is different.
