Before using `--vm-driver=none`, consult [this documentation](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/none/) for more information.

The `podman` driver requires running the containers as root because regular user accounts don’t have full access to all operating system features that their containers might need to run.
