If you use it rarely, I can high recommend the excellent QuickEMU [0]

Any VM is just a `quickget ubuntu 24.04` and `quickemu --vm ubuntu-24.04.conf` away. The conf file is just a yaml that is very readable and can give you more cores/ram/disk easily. Just run `quickget` to get a list of OS's to download.

Doesn't the 'q' in 'qemu' stand for "Quick" ?

Looks like it does :) Maybe take it up with Martin Wimpress, who probably meant it as a way to jar us all just a tad (knowing him from podcasts he probably has a witty and funny response to such inquiries).
