The Issue

This error does not explain exactly how to install Docker Buildx on different platforms:

$ ddev start
Docker buildx check failed: compose build requires buildx 0.17.0 or later: docker CLI plugin "buildx" not found.
Please install buildx: https://github.com/docker/buildx#installing

We have this blog https://ddev.com/blog/docker-buildx-requirement-v1-25-1/ and draft PR to handle Buildx automatically #8234

How This PR Solves The Issue

Until #8234 is merged, we should provide more details in the error message - for example, add a link to the blog.

Manual Testing Instructions

Remove buildx, and run:

$ ddev start
Docker buildx check failed: compose build requires buildx 0.17.0 or later: docker CLI plugin "buildx" not found.
Please install buildx: https://github.com/docker/buildx#installing
More details: https://ddev.com/blog/docker-buildx-requirement-v1-25-1/

I'm quite sure this is fine, thank you. But we may want to back it out when new buildx strategy goes in.
