Description

The download link for Docker Desktop on RHEL links to the wrong RPM, resulting in errors like https://forums.docker.com/t/cant-download-docker-desktop-for-rhel/142639/4

# dnf install ./docker-desktop-x86_64.rpm 
Error: 
 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides qemu-system-x86 >= 5.2.0 needed by docker-desktop-4.32.0-157355.x86_64 from @commandline

Upstream RHEL renamed qemu-system-x86 to qemu-kvm

Tested on docker run -it rockylinux:9 with

dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
dnf install pass
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/rhel/docker-ce.repo
curl
https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm
-o docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm
dnf install ./docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm

The Fedora rpm depends on qemu-system-x86 which doesn't exist on RHEL.

Tested on `docker run -it rockylinux:9` with

```
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
dnf install pass
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/rhel/docker-ce.repo
curl
https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm
-o docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm
dnf install ./docker-desktop-x86_64-rhel.rpm
```
