Make the getting started / installation page look nice again

[afbjorklund]

After adding architectures to the "Installation" section, it's an even bigger mess than it was before...

Now it separates both on OS and on CPU, and it can be confusing to know what to actually download:

https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/

(1) Installation

• Linux
  • x86
    • Binary download
    • Debian package
    • RPM package
  • ARM
    • Binary download
    • Debian package
    • RPM package
• macOS
  • Brew package manager
  • x86
    • Binary download
  • ARM
    • Binary download
• Windows
  • Windows Package Manager
  • Chocolatey
  • Stand-alone Windows Installer

Hopefully there is some nice web design that could be done, especially for the Linux tab ?

I described three different workarounds (in text), but am looking for a better looking solution.

There was also a long rant about the installation page and the evil of nested tabs, in #9066 (comment)

It would be great if the new solution could handle more than three options, like 5 or so: #9066 (comment)

Some examples of good "install pages" would be nice too.

So far we mostly have examples of the exact opposite...

• https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/
• https://podman.io/getting-started/installation

Not that there is anything wrong with them, in content.

Just that they look scary, and scare away the "TL;DR"

anyone picking up this task, u could do a nested Tab in the installation page https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/

Hi guys,

I did some quick prototype. What do we think about this style?

This is inspired by CUDA: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

Another example is PyTorch: https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/

I'm happy to work on it. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. Otherwise I can do nested tabs.

Thanks!

@dinever : I like it! And I think that nested tabs are horrible.

Ultimately the computer should be able to find this out for itself, but until we are there I think this "mini-quiz" will work ?

It also has plenty of room for scalability, if we want to add the other three platforms in a more "dimmed out" manner...
