@Furisto what sort of output would you expect for docker version?
I ask because of (version and experimental do not match):

Do we have any tests to verify docker functionality? I am asking because we are upgrading major version of docker here, and there could be unexpected breaking changes or side effects.

Updated the instructions to specify to use this preview environment for testing . ;)
When testing from the preview environment, I see experimental is off on the server (woo hoo!), on for the client (dang), and the versions do not match 20.10.14. 🤔

@sagor999 I recall @utam0k made some docker integration tests recently, but last time I ran them I believe they failed. That said, given the version info I am seeing, I do not think it's a truly a major version upgrade, persay.
@Furisto is there a burning need to change this now, or can it wait? I feel like even though this file suggests that we're using 19, we may actually be using 20.
This version specification is the version that will be installed when these binaries aren't present in the user's workspace. Therefore, if the workspace image contains a docker, the specified version will not be installed.

Lines 282 to 287 in a6e2316
We can guarantee our version by using the binaries we find, performing a version check and overwriting them if they are below the specified version. However, there may be a better way.
I want to know if we continue use --experimental, will there be any impact?

Totally agree with this. The driver for this change primarily is optics, which is not enough of a reason to incur complexity. If this had been an easy/straight forward change it would have been worth it. Doesn't look like that though.
I'd vote for closing this now and revisiting the change in a month or two.
Uh oh!

Description
Start dockerd in the workspace without --experimental flag. We originally needed this to support rootless, but it graduated in v20.10
