Doesn't work for M1 mac

minikube start --driver hyperkit
😄  minikube v1.24.0 on Darwin 11.6.1 (arm64)
✨  Using the hyperkit driver based on user configuration

❌  Exiting due to DRV_UNSUPPORTED_OS: The driver 'hyperkit' is not supported on darwin/arm64

Unfortunately, Minikube does not work with Apple silicon chips. I was using Docker Desktop (with k8s enabled) on my M1 laptop until recently. Now I switched to Rancher Desktop. It is my favorite local k8s distribution and now it supports M1 as well.

"docker compose up" doesn't work for me. I am using Intel Mac.
docker: 'compose' is not a docker command. See 'docker --help'

Do I need to install docker compose separately?

Can you please let me know which version of Docker CLI you're running (docker version)?

in the latest version, minikube apparently support M1. using 'qemu' driver kubernetes/minikube#11885

Finally
