While the subscription update made several changes, the one that caused all the commotion was the move to make Docker Desktop a paid subscription for some users. For those companies with more than 250 employees or $10M in annual revenue, Docker Desktop became part of the newly announced Docker Business subscription tier, which, according to the https://www.docker.com/pricing, starts at $21 per user per month.

It includes Moby (docker) now, so it's a pretty darn good Docker Desktop replacement.

Others, however, say that Rancher Dekstop is even better when used alongside Docker Desktop, rather than instead of.

Docker Desktop (DD) is amazing and so is Rancher Desktop (RD).
