Adds a DNS name for Kubernetes to /etc/hosts. Creates a symlink from /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli to /usr/bin/docker. This is because the classic Docker CLI is installed at /usr/bin/docker. The Docker Desktop installer also installs a Docker CLI binary that includes cloud-integration capabilities and is essentially a wrapper for the Compose CLI, at /usr/local/bin/com.docker.cli. The symlink ensures that the wrapper can access the classic Docker CLI. Creates a symlink from /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm to /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
