Currently we just refer to the upstream documentation, but don't mention the extra step needed:

Then it will fail on the first minikube start instead, mentioning what needed to be done before.

❗  'docker' driver reported an issue: "docker version --format {{.Server.Version}}" exit status 1: Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Get http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.40/version: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied
💡  Suggestion: Add your user to the 'docker' group: 'sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker'
📘  Documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/
❗  'podman' driver reported an issue: "sudo -n podman version --format {{.Version}}" exit status 1: sudo: a password is required
💡  Suggestion: Add your user to the 'sudoers' file: "$USER ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/podman"
📘  Documentation: https://podman.io

So we might as well add those steps to the documentation, in the first place ?

Note that sudo docker and sudo podman do work fine, but with a password prompt...

We should also take care to mention the security implications of removing the password.

It means that anything can run docker and podman commands - not only minikube.

Technically it is possible to run docker with sudo or to add a podman group, it's just not "standard"

We should also note that these steps only apply when running locally on Linux, not on Mac or Win.
