Correct, K8s and Docker will only work one single platform, namely Linux and Windows. No, wait, that's two. K8s and Docker can only possibly run on these two platforms: Linux, Windows and macOS. Ok, let me start over. The three platforms that support K8s and Docker are Linux, Windows, macOS and Oracle Solaris[1]. That's not... ok, the FOUR and ONLY four platforms that can run K8s and Docker are Linux, Windows, macOS, Illumos[2], Solaris, SmartOS, and FreeBSD.[3] How many did I say?
K8s and Docker run anywhere someone is driven to make them run.

"LX-branded zones provide the Linux system call interface, allowing you to run most Linux application binaries without recompiling them for illumos. This facility is available in several illumos distributions, including SmartOS and OmniOS."
"The Docker platform runs natively on Linux (on x86-64, ARM and many other CPU architectures) and on Windows (x86-64)."[1]
macOS Docker performance leaves much to be desired, but this is moving goal posts and suggestive of infinite ignorance: nothing other than Docker on Linux is acceptable. But Docker is just software and it will work wherever, and it has its limitations and plenty of competition to do what it doesn't do or does poorly. Die on the Docker Linux hill if you wish, but, last I checked, platform agnostics are versatile, more marketable, and more valuable, while penguinistas have become all too common. "Give me Philips head screwdrivers or give me death! How can you still use flathead drivers? Or star bit drivers? LOL You're not even screwing seriously. Real men use Phillips." Same thing, really. When you need tools to work, you'll take care of them. But precious few, if any, actually worship them.
