Same name, different environment
The basic command name docker is familiar on both platforms, but Linux path rules, quoting, permissions and available options can still change the result.
Distribution details matter
The Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch rows are not identical. Use the row for your distribution instead of changing only the package-manager name in an example.
For the broader concept behind this mapping, read Linux containers and virtualization.
