I'm installing minikube on my shiny new Pop!OS 20.10 install which is based on Ubuntu 20.10.

```
>_lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Pop
Description:    Pop!_OS 20.10
Release:    20.10
Codename:   groovy
```

I prefer to have my standalone application binaries placed in ~/.bin/ which is already included in my PATH.

```
>_ cd ~/.bin
>_ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64
