It seems like you're trying to create a Ubuntu systemd service to start Docker Desktop automatically. Here's how you can do it on Ubuntu:

1. **Create the service file**:

   Open a text editor and create a new file. You can name it something like `docker-desktop.service`. For example, you can use the command:

   ```bash
   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/docker-desktop.service
   ```

2. **Add the service configuration**:

   Paste the following configuration into the file:

   ```ini
   [Unit]
   Description=Docker Launcher

   [Service]
   Type=idle
   ExecStart=sudo systemctl --user -M <YOUR USER NAME TYPEIT>@ start docker-desktop

   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   ```

   Replace `user-name` with your actual username.

3. **Save and close the file**: In Nano, you can save by pressing `Ctrl + O`, then press `Enter` to confirm, and exit by pressing `Ctrl + X`.

4. **Reload systemd**:

   After creating the service file, reload systemd to make it aware of the new service:

   ```bash
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   ```

5. **Enable the service**:

   To start Docker Desktop automatically on boot, you need to enable the service:

   ```bash
   sudo systemctl enable docker-desktop.service
   ```

6. **Start the service**:

   You can start the service immediately without rebooting:

   ```bash
   sudo systemctl start docker-desktop.service
   ```

7. **Check the status**:

   To check the status of the service:

   ```bash
   sudo systemctl status docker-desktop.service
   ```

This setup should ensure that Docker Desktop starts automatically on boot. Make sure to replace `user-name` with your actual username and adjust any other parameters as needed.

Finally change docker desktop application start on ubuntu 
Like that 
from usr/share/applications

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Docker Desktop
Comment=Docker Desktop for Linux
Exec=sudo /opt/docker-desktop/bin/docker-desktop
Icon=/opt/docker-desktop/share/icon.original.png
Type=Application
Keywords=container;docker;
Categories=Development;
