I'm looking for the quickest and most straightforward way to create a multi-node cluster using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on my desktop. Ideally, I want to set up one control-plane and three worker nodes for practice. Any suggestions?

Have you checked out KinD? It's a great tool for setting up a small cluster for testing. I've got a 3-node setup running on WSL that works perfectly for testing my container images and debugging.
If you're looking to dig deeper into Kubernetes itself, you might want to consider using VirtualBox or Proxmox for a more comprehensive setup. And if you're really up for a challenge, try automating the process using Terraform and Ansible to set up 'Kubernetes The Hard Way'. I've heard of someone using Crossplane with KinD instead of Terraform!
Another option is k3d, which runs a containerized version of k3s. It's lightweight and could also be a good fit for your needs.
Yeah, KinD is awesome for your use case! Just set it up, and you'll be able to practice with ease.
