I installed winboat last week and seems to be working no problem I have run

sudo pacman -S qemu-full virt-manager virt-viewer dnsmasq vde2 bridge-utils openbsd-netcat libguestfs

or do I have to downgrade qemu? if so what commands do I need to run?

⚠️ NOTE: Docker Desktop is not supported, you will run into issues if you use it

That's from the winboat GitHub page.

Not entirely sure what you're trying to do though.

They really need to remove the docker install instructions if thats the case. and put the warning above the install instructions.

CachyOS has an updater and will not update docker because of Qemu

sudo pacman - Syu does nothing

How do I get docker to update when Qemu is installed but cant be found??

As another commenter pointed out, the current issue is due to the docker-desktop package being maintained outside the normal channels (AUR) and not getting updated when one of its dependencies moves forward (qemu). CachyOS seems to be letting you install from AUR as part of your normal pacman process and it's going to lead non-experts into situations like this. I separate my installs from AUR and system packages for this reason (among others).

Your choice is:

just wait for the person who maintains the docker-desktop package to update it
remove the docker-desktop package and update normally
potentially break things by temporarily ignoring the docker-desktop package so you can update normally.

Honestly, I'd personally advocate for tossing docker entirely and migrating to podman which has its own podman-desktop GUI. Since it is maintained by red hat, you'll always have the latest and greatest without weird issues.

Beyond that, I'd say uninstall this package and install docker without the desktop GUI according to the guide.

sudo pacman -U docker-desktop?
