Rancher Desktop uses k3s[1] which is a distro of Kubernetes designed for light weight environments. I run is on a fairly new MBP and a 7 year old MBP without an issue. I also run it on a 9 year old server with low resource usage. While Kubernetes is present we want those components to use the fewest resources they need to. On Mac, all of this runs in a VM and you can control the resources given to the VM. [1] https://k3s.io/ https://k3s.io/
