I'm trying to setup tensorflow to use GPU acceleration with WSL 2 running Ubuntu 20.04. I'm following this tutorial and am running into the error seen here. However, when I follow the solution there and try to start docker with sudo service docker start I get told docker is an unrecognized service. However, considering I can access the help menu and whatnot, I know docker is installed. While I can get docker to work with the desktop tool, since it doesn't support Cuda as mentioned in the SO post from earlier, it's not very helpful. It's not really giving me error logs or anything, so please ask if you need more details.
Edit: Considering the lack of details, here are a list of solutions I've tried to no avail. 1 2 3
Update: I used sudo dockerd to get the container started and tried running the nvidia benchmark container only to be met with

Update 2: After installing windows insider and making everything as up to date as possible, I encountered a different error.

I have a GTX 970, so I'm not sure why it's not being detected. After running sudo lshw -C display, it was confirmed that my graphics card isn't being detected. I got:
