This article should do a better job of explaining how Minikube is a "drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop". After installing Minikube, you won't just be able to run `docker` commands (`docker build`, `docker run`, etc.) on the terminal like you would after installing Docker Desktop.

You need to download the Docker client somewhere, need to configure this client to point to Minikube's remote host (`minikube docker-env` helps here), and some Docker commands won't work the same (--publish, --volume).

Minikube is more similar to Docker Toolbox, which is not too surprising - considering they are built on the same Docker Machine.

Which Docker Inc. doesn't want to support anymore, saying that it was replaced with Docker Desktop and is now deprecated (since 2019).
