Then you can choose to directly run Docker-OSX in powershell or run it in WSL distros.

#### Run in powershell

Download and install [Docker for Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/install/) if it is not already installed.

Then go into Settings and check a box:

```
General -> "Use the WSL2 based engine";
```

Next, run the following command in powershell(we run Ventura here as an example):

```powershell
docker run --device /dev/kvm -v /run/desktop/mnt/host/wslg/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /run/desktop/mnt/host/wslg:/mnt/wslg -e DISPLAY=:0 sickcodes/docker-osx:ventura
```

It points Docker-OSX to wslg in `docker-desktop` (a special distro created by Docker Desktop) and run Docker-OSX.

#### Run in distros
Go into your WSL distro (Run `wsl` in powershell) and check if KVM is enabled by using the `kvm-ok` command. The output should look like this:
