What is the cleanest way to get Kubernetes running for testing?

I am running Fedora Silverblue and I am looking for kubernetes that ideally doesn’t require me to add stuff to ostree. I have Podman desktop and podman installed.

Is Kind the right answer or is there something better?

I think for that you have the option to use toolbox on a atomic os (Silverblue). This way you can use dnf to make installation and the installation is in a writable space separated from your os. If you deploy a nev version in Silverblue you have it available too.

An alternative would be in a Virtual Environment, which is also separated from your os but you still have access to it when configured correctly.

This are tools to manage the containers while toolbox/vm represents the infrastructure you simulate.

I hope this information helps you a bit. If it is to basic ore superficial, please feel free to make followup questions to invite more participants to the discussion.

You should be able to use either kind or minikube:
