Website: Update docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube

[inductor]

This is a Feature Request

Install Minikube doesn't follow the latest information where you no longer need a hypervisor in order to use the minikube cluster as the default driver is Docker now.

Ref. https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/drivers/

What would you like to be added

Update the doc

Why is this needed

It doesn't follow the latest information

Hey! I would like to work on this! Can you provide more info on what the new docs should say?
Thanks

[inductor]

Install a Hypervisor should be optional and the doc does not mention about Docker driver which is recommended in the official doc(read the ref)

[rbrishabh]

Okay, got it! Will make a PR soon.
Thanks!

However, as the work is not _clearly_ defined:
/remove-good-first-issue

[sftim]

I'd replace _Install a hypervisor_ with another section _Ensure you have what you need_ (or similar title).

@rbrishabh doesn't appear to have updated this, and I need a good first issue to train up a new member of CNCF docs/dev advocacy staff, so I'm going to take this one 👍

Hi @inductor, based on another conversation, we may solve this issue by removing the minikube installation as dual sourced content, and replacing this page with a link to the minikube installer documentation.

@tstromberg we are thinking of removing this page and replacing it with a link to minikube installer documentation. Do you think this is appropriate y/n?

[celestehorgan]

@hackabletype

As a part of this change, it might be worth making the links to Kind and Minikube a bit more visual/see-able. For example, using a button like here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/#understand-the-basics

Karen B shared this PR in the Sig-Docs weekly meeting: https://github.com/kubernetes/website/pull/20717. It looks like it does the page trimming that we're looking at doing in this issue.

[sftim]

Should we also amend / remove https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/minikube/ and https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/kind/ ?

Should we also amend / remove https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/minikube/ and https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/kind/ ?

Revising my previous comment, now removed:

• I think that the https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/kind/ page isn't doing very much, and can probably be combined with its parent page. Or, we can expand it to match the content style of the minikube page.
• The https://k8s.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/minikube/ page looks to be in good shape (I went through it recently as a part of an on-boarding process). I'm not seeing much duplication from the main minikube site (please correct me if I'm wrong on that). What amendments would you suggest @sftim?

[sftim]

The page at https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-minikube/ is gone.
