Hi,
https://lwn.net/Articles/937830/ mentions that a kernel developer could
not find arm64 virtualisation images for any distro except for openSUSE:
There are no local virtualization images for arm64 available, other
than for openSUSE Tumbleweed, that he knows of at this time; he is not
sure whether there are plans for other distributions to add them.
That's unfortunate. :\
We do have QEMU images for amd64 and arm64 available, but one needs to
know:
(1) that they're here: https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/latest/
and
(2) that for QEMU/KVM you probably want the "generic" ones
They will want the "nocloud" images, but otherwise, the above is correct.
Should we add a link on https://www.debian.org/download? Any other ideas
to make them easier to find?
I'd be in favor of that. I mentioned the availability of downloadable
VM images years ago on my blog, but never did anything to promote their
availability further.
noah
