Docker Desktop Ubuntu install docs use `apt-get` with local .deb, which fails — should use `apt install`

Type of issue

Information is incorrect

Description

On Ubuntu 22.04+, the following command from the Docker Desktop installation docs fails:

sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb

Error:
E: Unsupported file ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb given on commandline

This happens because apt-get does not support installing local .deb files using a relative path.
The equivalent command works correctly:

sudo apt install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb

It appears the documentation is mixing apt and apt-get. This is a hard failure, not a warning that can be ignored.

Suggestion

Use sudo apt install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb
and not
sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-amd64.deb
