I have installed docker, and while trying to pull scrapinghub/splash - It says "image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform". i'm using win 10. Other commands and pull requests are working fine.

    So....what is your platform / OS? :p – johnharris85 Jun 10 '18 at 18:50
  • Windows 10. When I tried to pull another image, It's working. Do I have to set up specific settings for this? – VampireDroid Jun 10 '18 at 19:02

    Not a Windows expert, but Win10 has linux mode and windows mode. You'll likely need to switch modes before pulling that image. Check this out - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#switch-between-windows-and-linux-containers – johnharris85 Jun 10 '18 at 19:06
  • Switched mode to Windows no luck, I have hyper-v activated – VampireDroid Jun 10 '18 at 19:27

    Shouldn't the mode be switched to Linux to run a Linux image? – BMitch Jun 10 '18 at 21:31

Set in Docker Desktop -> Docker Engine tab -> mode "experimental": true. It helps me

To Expound upon Pedro Es' answer, here is a picture of what exactly needs to change: enter image description here

"True" is correct. The default is "false".

My system configuration- Windows 10 pro I have manual proxies setup Docker version 20.10.2

I tried changing the container to linux using Right click on docker icon - switch to linux containers

It did not worked for me. What worked for me was disabling wsl 2 based engine in general settings.(I guess settings layout has changed with the latest version), then restarting the docker. enter image description here
