Struggling with Docker Desktop on Windows 11 WSL2 - Why is it so slow?

I've been trying to get a smoother Docker experience on my Windows 11 machine using WSL2, but Docker Desktop is consistently sluggish, especially with file system operations and image builds. It's really impacting my workflow, and I'm wondering if there are specific configurations or common pitfalls I'm missing to improve performance. Any advanced tips or alternatives out there?
