I installed winboat last week and seems to be working no problem I have run

sudo pacman -S qemu-full virt-manager virt-viewer dnsmasq vde2 bridge-utils openbsd-netcat libguestfs

or do I have to downgrade qemu? if so what commands do I need to run?

    No, docker-desktop (an aur package) just explicitly requires a version of qemu that is not available in the repos anymore, as Arch is a rolling release distro and therefore only has the most recent stable version* in the official repos. This means that maintainers of other packages (official and AUR) need to always test compatibility against dependencies. In this case, the docker-desktop maintainer specifically requires qemu with a version older than 10.2.0, however, 10.2.0 is the current version in the repos. As 10.2.0 is equal to and not less than 10.2.0, it can’t use the version available in the repos.

    Either wait one day, or update manually with sudo pacman -Syud (-d skips dependency checks, so it will ignore docker-desktops request. This may lead to docker-desktop breaking tho.)

    *if we ignore the testing repos
