What this candy does

Downloads the verified-checksum k3s binary (plus sha256sum from the release manifest), installs it to /usr/local/bin/k3s, and creates symlinks for kubectl, crictl, ctr (k3s is multi-call). Installs runtime dependencies (iptables, conntrack, socat, ethtool, ca-certificates) via the distro package manager — not via the upstream curl | sh installer. Deliberate, per R9.
