I've tried both of those and minikube by itself. For me the main disadvantage has been compatibility with docker-compose. I've got several projects that I run using docker-compose.yml as a "turnkey" solution. The podman compatibility is unusable, and migrating to K8s manifest files is cumbersome. Also Rancher Desktop is not a complete replacement solution, once you install it you have to add some other stuff to make it work. All this kind of has made me think more about the vendor lock-in that we were having with Docker. I am still looking for a more viable replacement.
