Docker Daemon not running possibly broken on my Arch system upon installing docker-desktop

Question

I had docker running perfectly on my Arch setup then one day I thought to install docker-desktop on my system as going through docs I downloaded install binary extracted the docker binary and tried to run docker engine again (all by mistake, as I had docker already installed). Then I moved to install docker-desktop on my system only to find that docker daemon is no longer running and I tried to uninstall docker and reinstall docker but upon running sudo pacman -R docker it gives -

\\checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing docker breaks dependency 'docker>=24.0.5' required by docker-desktop

Maybe I am missing something as it all happened few days ago and I was very busy in work to deal with it that time, I used windows system that was pre-configured with docker-desktop since, but I want to make it work back on my arch system.

I am not an expert in arch still learning, I need an expert to help me provide me some reference anything that may work, thanks.

Answer 1

I found the solution to this, it seems docker-desktop is installed on my arch system and it needs docker package (therefore it shows dependencies conflict), so I first removed docker-desktop (sudo pacman -R docker-desktop) then I was able to remove docker and it worked, now I can reinstall docker and configure it accordingly.
