Can't Launch Docker

Edit: Resolved. I followed this StackOverflow answer
with these commands:

sudo rm -f /etc/docker/daemon.json
sudo systemctl start docker

Then, I ran:

sudo systemctl start docker.socket
sudo systemctl start docker.service

And, it worked.

Original Post:
I've installed docker 1:24.0.7-1 and can't start docker.service.

systemctl status docker.service
