Yana,

thank you for the response. I have found a message on SO:

From Kubernetes documentation:

Minikube also supports a — vm-driver=none option that runs the Kubernetes components on the host and not in a VM. Using this driver requires Docker and a linux environment, but not a hypervisor.

As I inderstand Kubernetes uses a VM for virtualization and requires some virtualization support on the host machine thus it is recommended to run minikube on baremetal machine. Sadly I didn’t dive deep under the hood of Kubernetes. You can check this thread on SO and this one on github. Hope this will help you to clarify the issue. Good luck in studying Kubernetes!
