<p>To use the Lima provider you need a Lima instance running a Linux machine.</p>
<p>In the future, Podman Desktop might be able to create Lima instances.</p>
<p>Consider creating a custom Lima instance to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Control the assigned resources: CPUs, memory, and disk size.</li>
<li>Use the rootful connection by default, for example to run Kind.</li>
</ul>
