Still Unable to start Minikube on macOS

What Happened?

Still not able to launch minikube on macOS with Podman and containerd or cri-o. I get an error downloading the kit artifacts, then it tells me that it can't start minikube container, it is just very frustrating, since I never know if I have a clean environment or not.

Attach the log file

Operating System

Make sure you have the compatible versions of container runtime installed in your system with right env variables exported (or endpoints defined) before starting the cluster.

also try - minikube delete --all rm -rf ~/.minikube

to remove any leftover configurations from previous trials.
