## Cache issues on Windows

On Windows, Docker Desktop can sometimes cause cache-related issues. To avoid this, it is recommended to use a Linux distribution under WSL (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian) when working with Docker and Symfony.

Install Ubuntu on WSL

```
wsl --install -d Ubuntu
```

Install Docker on Ubuntu

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y docker.io
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
```

Note: Docker Desktop can work as an alternative, but installing Docker natively in Linux is generally faster and avoids cache-related problems.
