Installing minikube etc in MacOS is just doing it the hard way

Install a linux vm and do k8s there, not on MacOS.

(not to mention you can do without k8s for most of development, I don't know why people like making their lives harder)

So basically, the advice is to install another OS as a virtual machine to make MacOS usable for actual work? In a thread where people complain about the MacOS usability?

This is strawmanning my comment

I can use (and develop on) MacOS just fine without k8s but if you need it, installing it on a VM is easier

I don't develop on MacOS, but having a vm setup as the easy choice doesn't sound nice.

My wording may have confused you. When I said "in a Kubernetes environment" it probably would've been more clear to say "to deploy in a" or "for a Kubernetes environment". So I'm talking about installing things like podman or docker, awscli, tfe, jq, your editor of choice, kubectl, all the stuff you need to push to a pipeline to be deployed on k8s.

Completely agree with that, Kubernetes is for deployment, not for development. I have no idea why you would ever need a "local Kubernetes". IMO if you need that, you're doing it wrong.

I've worked with K8s for a few years and not once have I thought "damn a local Kubernetes would be so helpful"

Or you can just install docker with brew and enable k8s afaik
