Today I ran minikube on my notebook running Fedora 30. What follows is a list of steps to do that.
First, install KVM/libvirt and periphery in one go:
sudo dnf install @virtualization sudo systemctl start libvirtd sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
Do a bit of verification:
lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 303104 0 kvm 782336 1 kvm_intel irqbypass 16384 1 kvm
Set up the most recent minikube release:
curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/ sudo install minikube /usr/local/bin/
Start minikube using the kvm2 driver:
$ minikube start --vm-driver=kvm2
😄 minikube v1.7.1 on Fedora 30
✨ Using the kvm2 driver based on user configuration
