Description
"You must use a kubectl version that is within one minor version difference of your cluster. For example, a v1.35 client can communicate with v1.34, v1.35, and v1.36 control planes. Using the latest compatible version of kubectl helps avoid unforeseen issues."
Guess what? If I've never used Kubernetes before I don't know what a cluster is. Please write instructions that I can use if when I'm new.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the kubectl installation page at k8s.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/ and review the quoted version-compatibility guidance in its beginner context. Update the instructions to explain what a cluster and control plane are and why the version rule matters, so a first-time Kubernetes user can follow the guidance without prior knowledge.
